I hope they will impress themselves upon the Members of the Senate as showing the very broad welcome the United States under its laws. has given the people of the world during the years. It is now proposed. both in the bill and in the pending amendment. that the number be increased. Seventysix thousand nonquota immigrants came into the United States last year. Approximately 70.000 quota immigrants came into the United States last year. Three hundred and sixtysix thousand nonimmigrants entered the gates of our country last year. Mr. President. I call attention to the fact that if the amendment of the Senator from Michigan prevails. it will provide for entry into the United States and for permanent residence here of more than the total number of both the nonquota and the quota immigrants who entered the United States last year under our laws. I think that is an important point to bear in mind. There are other reasons which had to be weighed by the committee in arriving at its conclusions.
