In W.ashington three men can keep a secret if two men die. It is like the old lady who said. "I can keep a secret but the people I tell It to. cannot." I must counter the remarks of the previous speaker. We have in the bill this very significant language "for permanent residence without regard to their inadmissibility under the immigration or any other laws or regulations." In the first place. if there had not been a closed rule. I would have made the point of order to strike out this provision because it is exclusively within the province of the Committee on the Judiciary and is not the business of the Committee on the Armed Services. The Committee on the Armed Services has nothing to do with Immigration. Now this provision I have read throws out the window. at the discretion of the Director mentioned in this bill. and the Attorney General. all the legislative immigration restrictions that 4e .have built up over the years. It throws them to the winds. and if the Attorney General and the Director wish to admit Facists. Communists.
Identified stereotypes
Generalizing that immigrants admitted under the proposed provision would be Fascists and Communists.
