But we need certain special skills and certain nonskilled labor. none of which can be readily found in the present unemployment pool. . I repeat that I am sorry the Senator from Nevada is not in the Chamber. Will the Senator from Nevada. as ranking member of the Judiciary Committee and of the Immigration Subcommittee. as the most powerful and eloquent voice in this Chamber on immigration mattersusually in opposition to immigrationraise his voice in behalf of special bills to admit some Swiss watchmakers. some Czech tailors. some Greek goatherders. some Italian farmers. and some Polish bootmakers. in a nonquota status? Mr. President. there is a vast need for farmhands in the south and southwest of our country. That need is now being met by illegal immigration from Mexico. There is a need for lumberjacks in the northwest and northeast. That need is being met by illegal immigration from Canada. Will the distinguished and able senior Senator from Nevada support special bills to establish nonquota admissions for farmers and lumberjacks from Cyprus. Malta.
