Mr. President. does it not seem a little odd that a person from Italy who enters the United States as a bona fide visitor and then decides to remain in the United States may have his status adjusted under this administrative procedure when he has come from a country 4.500 miles away while on the other hand a native of Argentina. who has come from a country 6.000 miles away would not be eligible for the adjustment. To me. this is an obvious case of rank discrimination against persons because of their place of birth and yet we were asked and told that the law must be changed to remove all discrimination from our immigration laws which would make distinctions between the peoples of the earth because of their place of birth. This discrimination is made even worse by the fact that under the Immigration and Nationality Act both the native of Italy and the native of Argentina may apply for this adjustment. This is really progress. Mr.
