President. we are considering legislation which in the long run will do immense damage to the United States. Oh. yes. it is said that we shall admit only 200.000 displaced persons. But. Mr. President. this move is only an opening wedge. this Is just the beginning of the destruction of our present immigration statutes. When the present immigration law was written in 1924. many great Americans said that was a turning point in the history of our country. But I am sorry to say that program is being destroyed. It is being destroyed piecemeal. and this bill is the opening wedge in the movement to destroy it.
