The Senator from Wyoming says that the Congress and the President are going to review this every 3 years. But I did not see in this bill any assurance that the Congress was going to act on this matter every 3 years. Unlimited immigration. Mr. President? This bill would allow onefourth of 1 percent of the American people to come in each year: 600.000 people is approximately onefourth of 1 percent of the American people. At the time of the largest and most rapid economic growth in this country. 3 or 4 percent of the population was coming in as immigrants each year. People say that immigrants are going to take away jobs. But the period of fastest job growth in relation to the population came at the time when the most immigrants in relation to the population came in. This is not an amendment that asks for unlimited immigration. especially by historical standards. It is not an amendment that. in the words of the Senator from Wyoming. says: Never say no. to use his exact phrase. Rather. it allows all immediate relatives of U.S. citizens to come injust as under the present law. and just as under the bill he proposes.
