Mr. Speaker. at long last there is an immigration proposal before Congress that makes good sense and will make good law. For over 60 years there has been a prolonged battle to erase from the statute on the books. the unworkable. unrealistic. discriminatory national origins theory upon which our present immigration law is based. When one considers that out of the whole immigrationquota pie. Great Britain and Northern Ireland receive 65.361 quotas annually. while Greece has a quota of 308. Italy a quota of 5.666. Switzerland a quota of 1.695. India a quota of 100. it is easy to see how such disparity has served neither our interests at home nor a common understanding abroad.
