Mr. Chairman. if the gentleman will yield. in the last year or two the rate of immigration for Mexico has increased by leaps and bounds. There obviously has been a substantial increase in unemployment. There is a very desperate economic situation which exists there. Notwithstanding that. we felt that as far as permanent immigration policy was concerned we should not make an exception. as we did not for Germany and Britain and Ireland in earlier years. I suggest we go to look at section 2. which is not ambiguous. It provides fcr a 1year extension. an additional extension up to a second year.
