They are all entitled to our consideration and assistance insofar as it is possible and practicable for us to consider and assist them. It must be kept in mindand I fully recognize itthat this bill is limited to the displaced persons as such. It was not and is not intended to amend the present immigration laws. But there is no logical reason why this body cannot amend the pending bill to perfect it and make it more applicable to the problems of the many displaced persons of various nationalities so as to work justice. equity. and humane treatment for those who are driven from pillar to post in Europe and who seek the opportunity to come to the United States to better their status. gain a decent livelihood. and become worthy citizens of our free Nation. This bill. despite assertions to the contrary. does not alter the immigration laws or policy of the United States. In fact. it supplements and broadens the policy without in any material or substantial manner changing the laws. Practically every religiousgroup in the country favors this bill.
