I am sorry. I can not yield. as I have only three minutes. Think of it. We pass a law to allocate immigration into the United States and then ask experts in the Census Bureau to get up figures which at best are sheer guesses. Now. why do they have to juggle them there? I will tell you why. Anyone who knows anything about American history knows that in the census of 1700 the census enumerators never asked a man where he came from. what his nationality was. or what his racial stock was. We simply took his surname. "Jones." " Smith." "Barker." and so forth.
