This bill is aimed at ending discrimination and eliminating a double standard. Yet in the process. unless you have the MacGregor amendment incorporated in the legislation. you are perpetuating this double standard and probably unfortunately writing it into the law for a long. long time to come. As I understand the testimony before the subcommittee. even spokesmen for the Department of State admitted that in due time there would be such a serious problem and it would be necessary to take some legislative action to prevent a tremendous onrush of immigration as critical population problems arise in Latin America. It seems to me that we should not postpone the day of inevitability. If even the opponents of this amendment concede that we will have to take corrective action at some future date. then why not do it when we can say with all honesty and all frankness that we can treat all people. all nationalities. all nations. identically?
