That is an astonishing statement and does not square with the facts. The "door is not open." It is on a tiny. a very tiny crack. For example. fewer immigrants entered during the past fiscal year than entered during the last 80 years. Not since 1863 have less immigrants come to our country. At a time when- mass murders in Festung Europa were greatest. in 1943. when the doors of refuge should have been kept open. they were deliberately. practically closed. Only 5.9 percent of all immigrants admissible came in in that year. Nobody is asking for any change in the immigration statutes. We are asking changes in the impossible conditions and cruel. coldblooded regulations that are laid down as to "screening" by the Department of State. and particularly by Mr. Long.
