Mr. Chairman. I come to this debate with a tremendous prejudice which Is born of the fact that I am a son of Immigrants and the cousin of immigrants and the nephew of immigrants and distant relative to many immigrants. One would believe at the outset that I would be supporting any measure to retain the present system of legal immigration and allow all people who want to come to our Nation to safely arrive and begin to become American citizens. That prejudice I must set aside in the greater good of our country. and as a responsible public official. which I deem myself to be. I know that the time has come that we must do something about the total number of individuals who live in our country. or who will be coming into our country.
