Mr. President. yesterday I inserted in the which appeared in West Virginia newspapers in support of my opposition to the immigration bill. I have now received a sixth editorial. this one having appeared in the Weirton. W. Va.. Daily Times on Tuesday. September 21. I call attention to the following paragraphs taken from the editorial: Certainly it is difficult to understand why we would want to encourage massive migration to the United States at the very time when our Nation is confronted with critical problems of unemployment.. poverty. depressed areas. automation. integration. increasing crime. and a skyrocketing welfare bill. The advocates of the change state that under the proposed legislation it will be easier for people "of special. skills" to come Into the country and help the U.S. economy.
