It would not impair anyones liberty. I have been concerned about civil liberties all of my professional life. Q. Should we increase the number of legal inunigrants. especially those coming from Mexico? A. Yes. and the exact amount of the increase should be a matter for negotiations with Mexico and other governments. But we should remember that the United States today continues to admit more immigrants than any other nation in the worldsome 400.000 a year in addition to large numbers of refugees. We may need foreign workers. but they should only be allowed to work here legally. under the protection of our laws.
