Thailand. and Cambodia. In these lands these children have roamed the streets and been treated as worthless In the eyes of those responsible for the administration of Justice. education. and other basic rights of citizenship. It is a sincere privilege to welcome these children to their true homeland by passing this legislation. which will give them No. 1 category status under our immigration laws for admission to this country. To these children we say. your fatherland embraces you. and to those who have worked so diligently in seeing that this legislation becomes a reality I say. well done. Today we as a nation live up to the high standards we are reminded of every time we fly into New York over the mighty lady of the harboronly this time we are asking for our tired and poor who yearn to be free.*
