Mr. President. George Washington prescribed an immigration policy almost 200 years ago saying: The bosom of America is open to receive not only the opulent and respectable stranger but the oppressed and persecuted of all nations and religions. whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges. if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment. This bill is in keeping with the wish of our first President. and with the wiser strains of our immigration policy that run through most of our history. After 40 years we have returned to first principles. Immigration. more than anything else. has supplied America with the human strength that is the core of its greatness. Let us keep the strength renewing.
