What do we and what do these organizations object to in the McCarran bill? We object very strongly to the restrictionist. exclusionist. and oppressive nature of many specific provisions of the bill. We object to many new and undemocratic features proposed to be introduced for the first time into our immigration laws. We object to the many bad features of the present law which the MCarran bill proposes to fix. codify. and reendorse. Remember. Mr. President. we do not ordinarily recodify our immigration laws. except once in a generation. The last basic act was passed in 1924. almost 30 years ago. If we approve Senate bill 2550. we shall be living with it for many years to come.
