Senator SIMPSON is correct when he says this only applies to 10 percent of the immigration. The question is whether for the first time in the Nations history we should suddenly have this kind of a special preference for people who speak English. I think it is unwise. I think our history has been a rich one. one where we pulled people in from many nationsthe Swedes. the Danes. the Germans. the Italians. the Dutch. the people from Africa. the people from Asia. the people from Latin America. We are a richer nation for it. But let us not move in this direction. and again I would simply remind my colleagues this amendment was defeated 12 to 2 in the Judiciary Committee.
