Over a century ago Americas first truly great poet wrote these words: We are not merely a nation. but a nation of nations. For the last few decades we have not been a nation of nations. we have been rather a nation of a few select nations. Our Immigration policy has clearly and unashamedly discriminated against persons born in certain parts of the world. This Congress has recently enacted legislation aimed at the final elimination of the vestiges of slavery and discrimination within our shores. I urge that my distinguished colleagues unite once again in bipartisan support of this bill which would end another example of discrimination and extend a sound promise of freedom to those throughout the world who wish to contribute to the ideals and goals and national wellbeing of our country.
