Mr. Speaker. the New Bedford Standard Times in the congressional district I represent is a newspaper which knows a great deal about immigrants. New Bedford has long been a port of entry for many immigrants. and the publisher. editors. and staff of the New Bedford Standard Times therefore know a great deal about the value of immigration to American society. On Tuesday. October 21. the Standard Times ran an excellent editorial about the cruelty and foolishness of much recent congressional policy on immigration. Coming as it does from a major newspaper in an area where immigration is a very significant fact. this editorial is entitled to a great deal of weight and given the debate that now rages in Congress over the wisdom of our immigration policy. I ask that the Standard Times excellent editorial be printed here.
