For years the distinction between Mexican and American real estate was indistinct. the border was open and undefined. and languages. people. and cultural traditions mingled freely. Now thousands of people of Mexican heritage are citizens and permanent residents of the United States. Each year over 40.000 of their relatives immigrate to join parents. children. brothers. and sisters. This bill would flatly discriminate against Mexican immigration. cutting it in half by limiting it to only 20.000 per year. While claiming to equalize immigration for all countries in the Western Hemisphere. it actually works against the goal of reunion of Mexican families. the major purpose of the preference system. For these reasons. I cannot support this legislation which does not contain provisions raising the limitation on immigration from Mexico.
