Mr. President. S. 1763. which is now pending before the Senate Judiciary Committee. would substantially increase the quota for Mexican immigrants. While the country is being deluged with illegal aliens. most of whom come across the Mexican border. the committee is concentrating on providing special favorable treatment for one nationality. Zero Population Growth. Inc. correctly points out that this is the type of "piecemeal change" which is not needed. Phyllis Eisen. immigration program director of ZPG. stated in her testimony on S. 1763 that: Limits on immigration. whether for one country or all. constitute the heart of immigration policy. There is no more fundamental issue than this. affecting the political. economic. and social objectives of the law. ZPG opposes action by this Congress to change the uniform 20.000 limit in isolation of other. unresolved immigration policy issues. I ask that the full text of Ms. Eisens thoughtful statement be printed in the RECORD.
