In addition. this bill contains important family unit provisions. which are eticized by some as opening the flood gates. This is not true. Family unity is a principle which must be returned to our immigration policy. It reflects and reinforces our own basic social values. And do we really want to Just shut the gates of this country to immigrants? Immigrants built the United States of America. Immigrants are constantly revitalizing the United States of America. If we deny new immigrants. we deny ourselves the benefits of their contributions. My friends. I urge you to support H.R. 4300. It is a good bill which calls for reasonable controls and humaneness in our immigration policy. Please do not support any amendments that will gut the full intent of this bill and destroy the momentum we have built for humanitarian reform of our legal immigration system.
