The second thing is. I heard my colleague talk about extending current law. We heard a lot of businessrelated elementsinvestors who have a lot of money and who are going to get visas. businesses are going to have these checks and all these things are going to happen. Well. current law allows a U.S. citizen to claim their immediate family. And as far as family values. it seems to me that the core of what our immigration policy has been and the core of what Members of this body have talked about time and time again in the context of family values is that family reunification is the core of those family values. You cant have family values if you dont have a family in the first place. And the family in the first place is the core essence of that family. That is. in essence. what the current law provides. So what is simply done. as we look to solve businesses challenges and problems. and bring in investors who have a lot of money. who now get a visa because they have a lot of money. is to say to a current U.S. citizen that we are going to recapture and use. for the purposes of absolutely legal immigration. under the current law. visas that exist but dont get used because of the way our system is working. This would allow a U.S. citizen to claim their relative using those visas. or a portion of them. By the way. I would urge my distinguished colleague to look at the numbers.
