Italians who have streamed into our land are Americans because America was born in them. They love our fierce spirit of liberty and individual freedom. our Bill of Rights. and the intangibles that have made the United States great. It is for these reasons that I want to do away with the socalled national origins quota immigration law which compartmentalizes quotas based upon race and place of birth. which gives Italy a quota of 5.645 yearly and Great Britain a quota of 65.361 yearly. This disparity has no place in logic or commonsense. In fact. it says an Englishman is better than an Italian.
