Finally. there are provisions in here that can work toward discrimination against Americans whose skin is of different color and who speak with different accents and languages. We have seen too often in the past in the great inunigration debates where we have enshrined discrimination. We had the national origins quota system that discriminated against persons being born in various regions of the country. the AsianPacific triangle provisions that said only 125 individuals from the AsianPacific region would come to the United States prior to the 1965 act. We eliminated some of those provisions. But we have always seen that if it is possible to discriminate and use these laws to discriminate against American citizens as well as others. that has been the case.
