Yet today there are more than a thousand persons a day coming into Germany from behind the iron curtain. Mr. President. if we want to break down our immigration barriers and open the floodgates to the whole world for people to come to America. which is the honeypot of the world. that is a horse of a different color. But if we want to deal with the displaced persons in western Europe. let me say that they are all dealt with under the present law. except about 11.000. Therefore if we are going to extend the cutoff date. which both measures do. if we are going to increase the number. which both measures doand there is not much difference between the twothen we are going to have to consider the German ethnics. or we are going to mistreat one of the finest classes of displaced persons in Europe. simply because our Government made a deal with Stalin.
