As President Lopez Portillo stated so emphatically. genuine mutual respect is the only foundation upon which to build a solid and mutually advantageous relationship. I firmly believe that under President Reagans leadership. we have begun to build such a foundation. One of the most serious problems between our two countries is illegal immigration. This problem has been virtually ignored by the Congress and previous administrations. This problem cries out for solution. I have introduced comprehensive legislation on this subject in this the 97th Congress. as well as in several Congresses past but have never even been given the privilege of a public hearing before the committee of jurisdiction in the House. On Friday. June 5. 1981. one of Californias leading daily newspapers. the San Diego Union. published a most timely and thoughtprovoking editorial on this subject entitled "Orderly Immigration." The editorial. in its entirety. follows my remarks and I commend it to all readers of the CONGRESSIONAL REcoRD who seek an orderly and humane solution to this great problem. [From the San Diego Union. June 5. 1981J
