“I want to make sure the Senator realizes that Senator Feinstein and I, in this amendment, do not change any of the things my friend is talking about. We do not touch anything in the underlying bill. All the Senator does, and I back her 100 percent, as does the Senator from Florida, is to say that since we are changing the rules that have been in effect for a long time, let's make them apply to people who are coming as of September of this year rather than change the rules for the folks who are here now. But everything the Senator says, Senator Feinstein's amendment does as much for future immigrants. I want to make sure the Senator was clear on that point.”
