The longer we wait to impose these restrictions the more difficult it will be to explain to the leaders of Latin America just why such limitations are necessary. I contend. Mr. Chairman. that shortterm diplomacy is not in our national interest. Because there Is no effective restriction on Western Hemisphere immigration contained in this bill. because our resources and economy are already strained. because shortterm diplomacy is not in our national interest. and because the bill discriminates against all the peoples of the world outside the Western Hemisphere by placing a numerical limitation upon their immigration while permitting Latin Americans to. come in without limitation. I strongly urge all Members to support the amendment of the gentleman from Minnesota when it is offered under the 5minute rule.
