Speech #1100055889

I have shown some of these pictures before. but as we move to the vote. I hope people understand what I am talking about. Under the bill. family reunification that I believe is so critical. we wouldnt have a lot of people in our country who have made enormous contributions. Ultimately. we ended up thriving because of their contributions. We ended up thriving on the contributions of a Colin Powell whose parents. under this bill. would not have been eligible to come to this country and. therefore. unlikely that he would have been born here and had the opportunity to become chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff or Secretary of State.
