Do we really believe in 1943. as our forefathers did in 1776. that all men are created equal in worth and in the right to be treated justly on the basis of what they are as individual human beings. not on the basis of the race to which they happen to belong? Do we really believe that there are certain inalienable human rights. such as life. liberty. and the pursuit of happiness? If so. then let us make it unmistakably clear by our words and our deeds. and quickly. This bill does not remove our immigration barriers. it merely removes discrimination from them. It does not tear down our immigration laws. it improves them. It does not abandon the principles on which they are based. it merely extends them. The alleged risks in taking such action are microscopic compared to the benefits to be gained.
