That is correct. That is the right way and the democratic way. let the chips fall where they may. I am not saying that it is going to assist any particular nation materially. but it strikes me as being a democratic process. If we are going to modernize our immigration and nationality laws. then let us modernize them in a truly democratic fashion. Let us bring them up to date. How can we say we are modernizing if we continue to use quotas which are predicated upon a census taken in 1920. When. as a matter of fact. a census of the United States was taken in 1950?
