Speech #790143223

I do not like to go as far as this bill goes. and I shall not go that far by my vote. I will not say. "Bring in all the suffering. teeming millions of the earth. wherever they be. We have established an agency to see that they get jobs in this country. even if it is to the detriment of the plain. everyday. gardenvariety American citizen who cannot associate himself with a minority." I cannot go that far. so I must plead guilty to the charge of narrowness being hurled at those of us who are opposing this bill because we believe that the nativeborn American citizen is still entitled to some little consideration ahead of the alien immigrant. Mr. President.
