If we can do this and take the amnesty out of the bill. it is so very important that we set the standard now. so that everybody who wishes to have the privilege to work in this great country will know what the rules are and will know that the rules are going to be enforced. That is the purpose of my amendment. I believe if we can pass this amendment. it would add a major component to this piece of legislation that would say not only are we going to have border security measures and this effort to end chain migration. have the meritbased system. take care of the HlBs and technical workers we want to come in and to attract into our country. that all these things would be done that are good. But in addition. we are setting the standards today and into the future that if you want to work here. you come in through the system. applying from outside the country. I hope my amendment will be able to be passed.
