So that was ended in this legislation. That is what was stopped. That is part of the agreement that was reached. the consensus that was reached. The adoption of the Menendez amendment would undo that. You can imagine how someone like me feels. I have taken a lot of heat for agreeing that the people who are here illegally should stay here. but I knew one of the reasons that was more palatable was because we had at least stopped the chain migration that would occur for anybody subsequently in the future. after we cleared the backlog of people who already applied.
