I would just like to say, I think that the President has taken the Dreamers, the little children, the asylum- seeking families as hostages for the anti-immigrant provisions in this bill. It has been mentioned that we have a generous immigration system. To whom? Two-thirds of the visas go to the immediate nuclear family of Americans. So that is what we want.
