Put in another way. an American citizen could bring in a total stranger to be his maid in a few weeks. but to bring his mother might take him 5 years. For 41 years this was the system that this Nation endured. a system which clearly implied that one mans country would necessarily make him a better American than anothers. The new immigration reform act corrects that implication. In addition. the national origins systems deprived us of persons whose skills would have been of the greatest value to this country. There were many cases like that of the American hospital which urgently sought the services of a brilliant surgeon from India who had done important research in heart surgery. But Indias quota was only 100.
