Mr. President. this mornings Wall Street Journal carried a most sensible editorial on the need to revamp American immigration policy. The Journal is convinced that "most Americans believe it is wrong to discriminate against someone simply because he was born in the wrong place." The case against certain provisions of the current McCarranWalter Act could not be stated more succinctly. The Journal calls for the adoption of new selection criteria for immigrants emphasizing qualifications of skill and of kinship to American citizens or permanent residents of the United States. It also deems it .only fair not to turn down qualified applicants while places in the total allocation go unused." I could not agree more. Mr. President. I ask unanimous consent that the text of the editorial entitled. "Improving Immigration Policy." be printed at this point in the RECORD.
