Many worthy veterans came to their Congressmen or Senators and asked that a private relief bill be passed for them. indigent and wounded veterans of. the great War Between the States. There were many. many private relief bills. pension bills passed in the decades following the Civil War. until there came a time when the whole pension problem was solved by a general pension law. That is an easily understood analogy to the private immigration bills. We have had these private immigration bills coming to this floor over a long period of time. This bill if passed will solve that problem. I think. 90 percent at least.
