But this compromise was constructed very carefully and very painfully by the dozen or so Senators from both the Democratic side of the aisle and the Republican side of the aisle who structured it. The Presiding Officer was a member of that group. the junior Senator from Colorado. In structuring the arrangement to not allow legal permanent residents or socalled green card holders from bringing in their spouse and minor children. there were many tradeoffs. As I have said on the floor earlier. many of the provisions which were excluded. rejected. were ones I personally would have favored. I have cast a fair number of votes here during the course of this debate that. given my preferences.
