Is it fair to say that because the father and mother of a citizen live in one part of Europe they can more easily join their children. or is it fair to say that because they happen to live In another part of Europe whose quota is almost nought. that they must be discriminated against because that particular country has so small a quota that only a handful can come In? It does not require much argument to understand the situation. and surely no argument can be presented against the statements I make. because these are facts. not inferences that I make. We were confronted with them at the beginning of the new immigration law. which is to be a permanent policy of the United States. with no powers vested in any commission to relieve the hardships that we are confronted with at this stage of the enactment of the permanent policy of the Government Until this time I have not yet heard any explanation by the members of the conference or the managers as to why the origin scheme was incorporated in the conference report and .have not yet heard the reason why the father and mother was removed from the nonquota class. Is it a secret? Is it something that no one Is entitled to know?
