The United States is a beacon for democracy and has always been a refuge for people seeking freedom. From the first settlers who were escaping religious persecution. to Europeans escaping Communist regimes. accepting the huddled masses yearning to be free has been a part of our Nations genetic code. Mr. Chairman. President Kennedy once stated. "Everywhere immigrants have enriched and strengthened the fabric of American life." This can be seen in all aspects of our society from advances in science and medicine to great works of art and literature. If this legislation is passed. the fabric of our Nation could be permanently altered.
