By continuing the favored treatment to the Western Hemisphere in this legislation. that is decidedly a preference that is generated in favor of Western Hemisphere immigation. The gentleman is correct in that respect. May I say. and I call to the gentlemans attention the fact that there are areas in this bill in which there are specific provisions inserted for the express purpose of controlling Western Hemisphere immigration even though there is no overall ceiling on Western Hemisphere immigration. We attempted to do that in the subcommittee and you have perhaps heard an account here today as to what occurred there. But this legislation. it should be understood here and now. is much stronger than the present WalterMcCarran Act and the present immigration law in the field of controlling intended immigration and the flow of immigration from the Western Hemisphere countries. including the Caribbean area.
