Mr. Chairman. just what is this literacy test for Immigrants? It provides that any Immigrant over 16 years old must be able to read a little in his or her own language. Even to this mild restriction there are generous exceptions. Families ..re not to be broken up. If only one of them can read. he or she can bring in pretty much all the rest of the household. except grownup sons. If a reading test had been in force last year for aliens over 14 years of age. some 300.000 of those aliens who came in here would have been excluded.
