But now let tie take a look al. ithe facts. tiok at the facLs about Creek Americana who are going back to their country of origin. to Greece. It is higher there than Greeks coming to America. Take a look at my State of Rhode Island. where we ani the State of Massechusetts have one of the highest. rates of immigration from Portugal. These people are ha dworking. dedicated individuals who really have made a difference for our State and our countLry. What we are doing is we are saying Lo them. because of a suljective judgment by a bureaucrat on tile other side. we are going to dismiss the opportunity for family members to come over on a shortterm visa to visit their family. to visit this country and increase tourism to our States and our country. This is wrong. As the gentleman from New Jersey said. it. is wrong on the basic principls that we have founded our country.
