The gentleman stated what we are doing is cutting the possible immigration in half. I think what he is referring to is the figures only for the last fiscal year. In fiscal year 1972 there were 64.000 and of that 64.000. 23.000 were immediate relatives. Going back 2 years before that there were 44.000. So I suggest to the gentleman that if we allow 20.000 plus the immediate relatives. taking into consideration the size of the families. we can approach 45.000 which is approximately the average Mexican immigration for the last 8 years. Therefore. we will not do substantial harm to Mexican immigration at all.
