It is about hope in terms of the future. It is about hope. It is relieving the kinds of anxiety those 12 million or 13 million undocumented are experiencing this afternoon and will experience tonight when they have a knock on the door and wonder if ICE is coming there to arrest and deport them. separate their families. and send them backeven after they have been here for a number of years. We dont hear much discussion about that. Everything seems to be pretty cut and dried around here. That is a major factor. How many of us have met some of these individuals. the undocumented? I did just 3 or 4 days ago. returning here at the airport. I talked to a person who has been here 28 years. as have his two brothers. The brothers have been able to get green cards. but he had not. He talked about the fear he and his family have at this time of being arrested and deported. In this legislation is another extremely important provision. That is what we call the AgJOBS bill.
