Ind.. on October 26. 1948. as follows: Some people dont want the victims of World War II to come to the United States and get a fresh start in life. The Republican Eightieth Congress has a lot of men who felt this way. and their record proves it. A majority of the Republicans in both House and Senate voted to keep the laws they passed. because they dont want homeless. suffering Europeans of certain religions to get into the United States.
