The quota for Portugal is 438. and the Dutch quota 3.136. Congress again took a slam at national origins. The 86th Congress in 1959. granted nonquota status to relatives and permanent residents who had been waiting anxiously at consular offices for visas for from 10 to 15 years. Thus. year after year. Congress continued to tear away bits and pieces of the nationalorigins system until now only one out of every three immigrants are admitted under that nationalorigins system. Any system that has caused all this patchworkcaused our immigration structure to be so jerrybuilt--should be repealed. Mr. Chairman. I would like the RECORD to contain the legislative history of immigration. First. The Alien Act of June 25. 1798. was the first Federal legislation.
