It would be a shame to see this growing friendship stagnate or reverse itself. We have many common interests and common problems. which. if we work on them together. can be resolved to our mutual satisfaction. There are few. if any. issues more pressing to both of our governments than the question of immigration. I am not intimating that the United States should tailor its immigration policy to meet the needs of Mexico. I do. however. think it is important that we take into account the concerns. not only of Mexico. but of all Latin American and Caribbean nations. as we decide on what our immigration policy should be. That is why. I am deeply concerned about the efforts to bring the immigration bill to the floor of the House during this lameduck session. We must refocus H.R. 6514 to account for foreign policy considerations. We must examine our immigration policy further. before passing a new immigration bill. I submit Senator HARTS article for the perusal of my colleagues. [From the New York Times. Aug. 24. 1982]
