“Here is the point: You are doing no harm to these people. Under this bill, these people have to leave at the end of 6 years. They are done. So for the Senator to say this somehow hurts people in the long run, it simply isn't true. This is a modest amendment. It makes a lot of sense. Who knows, in 5 years, we could be in a massive depression. We don't want that, but we are certainly not going to want to extend the program in that case. This is a wise amendment, and I urge an ``aye'' vote. I thank the Senator from North Dakota for his leadership.”
