It now is necessary for them to wait until next year when legislation is passed to try to protect them. What is going to happen to them between now and the time this House gets ready to pass that piece of legislation? No one answers that question. My colleagues also thought that all immigrants in the future would be treated equally. The truth of the matter is that in this bill they increased the quota system for Europe by 60.000 and then refused to increase by 20.000 the quota system for this hemisphere. That is not fair. But they never intended to be fair.
