Mr. FISH. are right in this matter and the author of the amendment and my friend from Texas are wrong. Certainly we as individuals are responsbile for the actions we take. but this Government is responsible for the law that controls refugees and immigrants into this country. I would remind my colleagues this day that this is a Nation of immigrants. Read the names as the lights go up on the wall of this Chamber if you do not understand that this is a Nation built by immigrants. composed of immigrants. a Nation that is not only a melting pot. but a rich mosaic of all of the worlds cultures and peoples. and a Nation that has been built by many becoming one Nation. This is a Nation which has had into its culture to flow the wealth of the world in terms of the peoples and the ethnic groups and cultures of our world. I simply would like to say that if ever there comes a time when the United States shall say no to people in desperate need on some mechanical formula. it will be a time of shame for the United States.
