On the recordMarch 22, 2013
nothing changes present law, and nothing is contemplated to change--which I think the Group of 8 wouldn't mind me saying--what the Senator is concerned about in our negotiations. It would have to come before this body before, in fact, it could be changed. The current law is very clear. They do not have access to any of the benefits that the Senator is worried about because present law prohibits an undocumented immigrant from having access to those benefits. That is why this is unnecessary. It is just the need of some to have an immigration amendment.
