Immigration Reform Bill Advances in House Amid Debate
The House passed a broad immigration reform bill by 318 to 95 after defeating a Republican bid to cap Western Hemisphere arrivals at 115,000 a year. The measure would replace national quotas with a first come first served system starting July 1, 1968, aimed at boosting total visas and favoring relatives of U.S. citizens, while excluding Western Hemisphere nations from quotas. Senate opposition looms and Johnson presses for prompt action.
