This is one of those areas...the pre-removal risk assessment is a pretty critical component when you're looking at safety for people to come to our shores who are feeling vulnerable. To go retroactively is almost like saying that members of this group here, because they weren't born by a certain date, now have to have these changes, so we're going to go back and capture the others, because they were alive during that time, and we want to make sure everybody's on the same footing.
One of the ways everybody could be on the same footing is that we reinstate a pre-removal risk assessment for everyone. Putting everybody on that kind of equal footing, which you so eloquently explained to us, doesn't always mean we have to go to the lowest denominator.
Surely, when it comes to looking at protecting people's security and looking at the kinds of risks that many of these could possibly face, it would be better for us to err on the side of caution than to throw out the baby with the bathwater, which is what this does, and it actually makes it retroactive as well.
We are opposed, in case you didn't gather that.
