Chairman. this amendment. of course. is long overdue. There is no question about it. But it is revelatory of a double standard. a discriminatory heritage that has been reflected in every single immigration law and amendments thereto enacted with respect to those who happen to come over across the Mexico border. I have heard all of the picayunish picking on whether or not certain methods will be erected legislatively to provide for legalization. which this amendment does for a certain category. But when it comes to the case of those who have come across the Mexico border. it seems that there is no sympathetic interest whatsoever.
