I believe we should differentiate between those whom we will not allow in this country under any circumstances. and those whom we will admit as tourists. Further. and very importantly. I believe that many potential visitors to this country simply do not apply for visas because they know they will be asked if they are alcoholics. if they are mentally retarded. and a variety of similar questions. The battery of questions asked potential tourists to this country is viewed. of course. by many as a joke. Others see it as an affront to their dignity and inhospitable in the extreme. and refuse to subject themselves to it. We are not an inhospitable country. and I believe to prove this to those who know us primarily through our immigration law. we need to do some fencemending at our American consulates abroad. As I begin my seventh year of service as Congressman of the Seventh Congressional District of Illinois. I want to say that I have received thousands of letters from anguished relatives in all ethnic groupsItalian Americans.
