Under this bill. it doesnt matter because even when you obey the law and follow the rules. you ultimately have your right extinguished. It seems to me we have our values wrong. It is not about chain migration. not about just looking at the ability to say that family reunification should not happen. especially when the burden is on the family member who happens to be a U.S. citizen. 1 simply believe the question before the Senate will be. are you willing to vote to eliminate the right that exists today of a U.S. citizen who filed his papers. the Government took his money. he obeyed the law. followed the rules. you are going to take away his or her right? But you are going to give a right to individuals who didnt follow the law and obey the rules. I certainly dont believe that ultimately is in pursuit of the rule of law.
