When I was in San Francisco last Monday there were many hundreds that came in on a boat that night. I did not go see them but one of the staff from the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives did. On the quota system INS reports to us that there is a quota admissions of immigrants of 210.000 and nonquotas of 195.000. That puts us. give or take. I will grant the Senator some leeway certainly. at 685.000. My question is this: Assuming that this amendment of the Senator from Kentucky is adopted and assuming that the administration says. "We will adhere to the sense of Congress because both houses have adopted this." what are we to do? Are we to turn back the 35.000? And in reality we suspect that before the end of the fiscal year we will have substantial increases in the nonquota system of immigrants of another 5.000. and under the quota system no one knows because it depends how many apply.
