It is based upon the fundamental belief that in our immigration policy we should put a high premium on keeping families together. We feel that if an individual is sufficiently qualified to meet the other criteria. criteria which have been detailed in the bill. he should not be separated from his family. a condition which exists today under the present McCarranWalter Act. I refer the Senator to the Bureau of Security and Consular Affairs. which lists. under the second preference. the number of people. going into the thousands. who have family relationships and are separated from their families. We believe that preference ought to be given to them. and that they should be permitted to come into the country.
