I. say to our friends in Latin America. It is a hemispheric limitation. because we consider the whole hemisphere as our partner. Even with that limitation. we are providing for a Select Commission on Western Hemisphere Immigration composed of 15 members to study this matter in the Senate version of the bill so that if dictates of policy or Other ideas are deemed necessary within the next few years. the Senate is opening the door wide to discussion and to considerations which may occur in that period of time and leaving the door open as to what may be dictated by the interests not only of this country. but of the hemisphere. We cannot stop demagogs and people who are here to disturb the relationship of the American States. but at least we can set the record straight. that within the context of this new. and I think noble. immigration policy. we have tried in every way to accommodate the special relations. affection. and friendship which exist between the United States and the people of Latin America. I have never heard the Senator from North Carolina say that there has been any abuse of the immigration policy from the other American Republics or from Canada. but in accordance with his view. and that which has prevailed in the totality of the proposed new law. as we are approaching a new policy. let us make it a new policy across the board.
