I think the word he used is misleading and he uses that in the debate sense. I like that. But I can tell my friend that if he will look again at the current law. the fifth preference today allows brothers and sisters and their family of U.S. citizens to immigrate. Under the fifth preference. 64.800 immigrants are admitted annually. Less than a third of those visas goes to brothers or sisters of citizens and twothirds go to brothersinlaw. sistersinlaw. nieces and nephews. I will be glad to present those and will print those in the RECORD. Those are the figures. I am not making them up. That is why I am talking about brothersinlaw and sistersinlaw and nieces and nephews. I am saying only this: Unless you want unlimited immigration. and perhaps that is the vote we ought to just put to the body. Somebody should make the amendment that we want unlimited immigration into the United States. I do not think that would pass. If it did. why.
