rejects the argument that Latin America requires a special relationship. "I submit that there is no relationship." he said. "which is closer or more special than that which our country bears to England. our great ally that gave us our language. our law. and much of our literature. "Yet under this bill my friends express no shock that Britain in the future can send us 10.000 fewer immigrants than she has sent on an annual average in the past. They are only shocked that British Guiana cannot send us every single citizen of that country who wishes to come." The old national origins system of quotas has. in fact. broken down. Only about a third of present immigration enters under it. The big loopholes are immigration from the Western Hemisphere. refugees. and special "hardship" cases advanced in thousands by Congress.
