We cannot get reunified with our son and daughter. That is the universe we are talking about. If we do not stand for the very core value of family reunification. while we talk about those who have money to invest and who get visas because they have money. well. we have seen what has happened with our system around here when everything is about money. and it is a huge failure. The proposition is that if you have money. yes. you can get a visa. But God forbid we give a U.S. citizen who is claiming their family a visa as well. I feel very passionately about this. I understand Senator SESSIONS feels very passionately about the way he views it. and I hope we can reconcile our passions and be able to have a little less heat. a little more light. and create an opportunity to be able to move forward in the days ahead.
