hopes that this Congress will defy the predictions of the pessimists and vote a basic immigration reform. If it does not do so. we do want to see progress toward that goal. When the suffering of human beings is involved. when families are waiting to be united. when refugees who have never seen a private home continue to yearn. we would not advise Congress to wait until a completely satisfactory bill can be passed. But we do earnestly hope that Congress will give its serious consideration to basic changes in the law and then go just as far as possible in the development of an immigration law consistent with democracy and humanitarianism.
