Mr. President. I have listened with interest to the remarks of the distinguished Senator from Florida as he speaks for his constituents and their views on liberalizing our immigration policies. It is for that reason that I feel compelled to speak out for some of my. constituents in Wyoming. namely. the more than 4.000 American Indians that live in my State. Through the eyes of the Indian. there is not a member of this body that is not an immigrant. and it ill behooves any of us immigrants to look down our noses at others who would seek but to do what our forefathers didfind a new opportunity in a new world. Save for the voice of the Red Man in our country. no other voices raised against immigrants should be heeded or can speak with naught but ill grace. My ancestors came from Western Europe. I believe that we should set a policy which will exemplify the kind of thing we should hold out to all the rest of the world.
