Speech #820200457

R. 5678. which will undoubtedly be explored and discussed by other speakers. All of these objections should help to establish clearly the great shortcomings of this bill. Congress must reject the Walter immigration bill in its present form for reasons which are vital to the freedom and the continued growth of our land. Let us make certain that whenever any man. regardless of his race. color. or creed. applies for an immigration visa. he will have the opportunity to see democratic ideals in operation. Let us write an immigration bill which will clearly speak to all the world of what we mean by the idea of American democracy. The Walter immigration bill Is not in accord with that idea and it should. therefore. be defeated.
