I oppose this amendment. and I believe the House should know that the amendment offered by our distinguished Chairman. the gentleman from New Jersey was thoroughly considered in the subcommittee chaired by the gentleman from Pennsylvania . It was thoroughly considered and voted on the full Committee on the Judiciary. and it was defeated. Now. let us just consider for a moment what the bill does and what the amendment does. At the present time in the Eastern Hemisphere we have a 20.000percent country annual limitation on immigration. We have a preference system based on skills and family ties primarily. and we have an overall ceiling of 170.000 people per year. In the Western Hemisphere. by contrast. we have no percountry limitation. we have no preference system.
