I understand how people can get emotional about some of the arguments with respect to these bills. My good friend from New Jersey is clearly agitated. and I understand that. But I would tell him that some very good lawyers have looked at the language in the bill. which is different from current law language with respect to providing benefits to illegal immigrants. And categories two and three. which the gentleman cited. "lawfully present in the United States" or "permanently residing in the United States under color of law." do present problems. First. there are multiple definitions of what "lawfully present" means in current law and regulation.
