So that. little by little. there have been accretions. first by this Congress. then by that Congress. Too often a bill would go across the floor and we would not fully appreciate its implications until it got into the statutory law. then had to be interpreted in terms of and in conflict or in reconciliation with existing law that has not been repealed or nullified. It puts a burden on the ingenuity of the immigration and naturalization administrators of the country. Too often the Congress has not been fair to them in the amount of time and devotion that has been addressed to a problem that is now receiving tremendous emphasis as a result. first. of the fitful and feverish condition that exists in the world today. second. the desire of people to come to these shores. and. third. a general demand in this country that more and more we require some kind of training. some kind of fitness. some kind of assimilation of the American philosophy before the door is open too wide and we extend our hands and say. "Welcome into the fold of American citizenship."
