Mr. President. I rise to discuss with the chairman of the subcommittee an issue of importance to millions of Americans. I hope to clarify the intent of the subcommittee and keep intact the integrity of what. to many. is a solemn place. Mr. President. over a period of 62 years. more than 12 million immigrants sailed into the gateway to the United States. Ellis Island. NY. They arrived from the four corners of the Earth with only a handful of possessions. uncertain of what they would find. From Ellis Island. these individuals spread into every part of our land. eager to explore the opportunities that our dynamic Nation presented.
