Chairman. I rise in support of H.R. 4300. the Family Unity and Employment Opportunity Act of 1990. We are a Nation of immigrants. and each immigrant has brought to this country something very. very important. Our country is really a gaint mosaic of cultures. and that Is really part of the American dream. I am proud that I grew up in a culturally diversified neighborhood consisting of people who trace their ancestry from all parts of the world. That is what makes our country the greatest country in the world. that we are able to embrace a variety of cultures. Unfortunately. in my judgment. there is a cyclical discrimination in our immigration policy. It is nearly impossible just to obtain a visa under the current system from some areas of the world. People who want to visit our country. such as those from Poland. Ireland. the Ukraine.
