Well. first. my bill calls for immediate repeal of the national origins quota system. The Celler bill stretches repeal out over a 5year period. Second. my bill calls for an annual ceiling of 225.000 immigrant admissions from countries external to the Western Hemisphere. The Celler bill has no ceiling set by law. Third. my bill calls for a ceiling of 20.000 a year from any one country. exempting spouses. children. and parents of U.S. citizens from that countrys ceiling. The Celler bill would set an annual ceiling of 16.600 on any one country at the end of 5 years. Also. my bill changes the order of and enlarges the number of preference classes.
