Session #86 · 1959–61

Speech #860071541

There is such a small quota. And there is a long line of people who applied 2 to 5 years ago. That puts it up to us. the Congress. to amend the law. guided by the moral as well as the legal obligation to open the door in the immigration wall that separates American citizens from close relatives who want to be reunited with them. There are several bills before the House and Senate. with the worthy object of granting nonquota immigrant status to certain immigrants who are the brothers. sisters. sons. or daughters of citizens of the United States. In behalf of our fellow Americans of Italian ancestry upon whom the present situation bears most heavily. I join with many other Congressmen in asking for legislation at this session that will permit their loved ones in Italy. the close members of their family circle. to be at home with them in the United States.
