I am simply raising this question so Members may know exactly what they are approving. In my humble opinion. it would have been far better had there been no such provision in the conference report. It is there. We have to make the best of a bad bargain. in my opinion. I do not think we have a right. no matter how meritorious the demand may beI do not think we have a right to say to a sovereign nation of the Western Hemisphere that "you cannot take any immigrants unless you specify certain standards which we. by legislative fiat. lay down."
