Mr. Chairman. I rise to ask several questions of the gentleman from Alabama and the gentleman from Florida if I could. because the subject of immigration for the State of Texas is No. 1. Everyone down there has ideas on who should be admitted and everyone is very much concerned with it. I do not know what the situation is throughout America but in the city of Dallas they tell me we have 5.000 immigration cases each month. which means over 50.000 cases a year. If you take that for the State of Texas that means we are having about 250.000 people who want to be immigrants into this country. Mr. Chairman. we are turning many of these people down. Very few of them are getting in. I asked the staff in our office why they were spending so much time on immigration cases. They tell me people keep coming in for followup reports. All of these applicants keep saying they want in. they have relatives. they have deserving situations. from all over the world.
