The balance of 50.000odd usually comes in from all the other countries. Indeed. I deem the MacGregor amendment ill advised. improvident. and utterly unnecessary. It is unnecessary because as I said the average of 10 years of immigration from the Western Hemisphere was but 110.000. even less than the ceiling that the gentleman would place. namely. 115.000 which as I repeat does not include the spouses. children. and the parents of those who are citizens. which group conceivably could run up to 25.000 and thus make his figure 140.000. It is unnecessary in my opinion to bargain for trouble. That is what we are doingbargaining for trouble.
