I understand that in 1940 there were 5.000.000 aliens registered under the Alien Registration Act. There is no telling how many are not registered. I wanted to ask the gentleman from Kentucky how he figures everyone in a displacedpersons camp are people who would be desirable citizens of this country when 40 percent of themand this is according to information from our own consular officialshave made fraudulent applications for visas to enter this country. I do not understand that. The gentleman from Ohio has touched the key spring to this whole question. We are on the road to wreck our immigration laws and I believe we should be strengthening instead of weakening them. This is a moral issue. they tell me. For the sake of argument let us grant that it is.
