Speech #1010043923

My own view. as I have expressed to Senator HELMS. has been my concern about not eliminating others who might gain access to this country. An argument was made that the last amendment on Englishspeaking preference should be passed because it only affected 9 percent. Well. this Senator feels very strongly about 1 percent. This Senator feels very strongly about one immigrant. because there is an immigrant well known to this Senator. who. if he had not gotten into the United States. namely. my father. Harry Specter. it would have made a tremendous difference. So I think each place is of vital importance. and I would not want to sacrifice one place. let alone 30.000 places. which this amendment would provide.
