I yield myself 5 minutes only to answer some of the arguments made by the gentleman from Minnesota. The gentleman suggested an amendment admitting 110.000 a year. but that does not include what are known as the "immediate relatives." the spouses. par. ents and children of citizens. That later category conceivably could go up to 25.000 or 50.000. It is interesting to note that the total immigration of the Western Hemisphere last year. 1964. was 135.000incidentally. 6 percent less than the year before. Now. it may be that even under the MacGregor amendment you might admit 135.000 or even more. We do not know how many spouses. parents. and children there would be of American citizens.
