I wish to commend the distinguished Senator from Hawaii for the very careful and well thoughtout analysis of the immigration bills before us which he is now presenting. The Senator represents a State in which there are relatively few civil rights problems because of that wonderful spirit of aloha which permeates not only his State but also the actions of our colleagues from Hawaii in this body. He is doing a particularly outstanding job in refuting the argument with which we who favor a change in our immigration laws are so frequently confronted. namely. that increased immigration will increase unemployment in our country. I think the Senator in his presentation is demolishing that argument. It is a fact. based on our most recent experience. that immigration to the United States for permanent residence has increased employment opportunities for our people rather than diminished them. I shall cite only one example. In my home city of Rochester.
