In a statement accompanying the bill Senator Walsh declared: “As the law now reads, the parents of American citizens are given only preference within the quota, which in most countries has been exhausted for many years to come. This amendment would give to the parents of American citizens a non-quota status and allow them to enter the country without years of waiting. It is purely a human measure.”
