Mr. Chairman. .throughout American history we have thrown our doors open to the peoples of all lands. especially the oppressed peoples of all lands. and have made America the home of freedom. This means that we have changed our law on immigration and naturalization very often and have a multiplicity of regulations. perhaps some good and some bad. and no doubt all confusing. Recognizing as I do the contribution in blood and culture to America through the unnumbered hosts .who have turned their eyes toward the Promised Land. yet. in spite of all this. I feel that we have been as a government .too lenient in remedying the situation. It is late now. but not entirely too late to remedy or improve it. This country has been greatly harmed by individuals .who ought not to have ever been admitted here. However. the same thing can be said of the immigration from heaven. or whatever may be the source of the storkborne migration. Undoubtedly the world would be better off if some individuals had not been born. However. that reflection does little good.
