Mr. President. I rise today to offer an amendment to a truly historic piece of legislation. the Legal Immigration Act of 1989 the sponsors of which. Senators KENNEDY and SIMPSON. are due our greatest admiration. Their work in this area is nothing less than remarkable. As we consider this legislation. we consider something of our past. of our present and of our future. We are a country of immigrantsa nation founded on the hopes and dreams of so many who aspired for greater freedom and for liberty. It was and continues to be democracya personal. individual freedom unlike that found in any other nationto which so many around the world are attracted. Our freedoms are inspirations to those oppressed.
