It certainly is an insult to stigmatize as inferiors the people of Italy with their long cultural and Christian traditions. We know that there is no people to whom the world owes so muchinsofar as Christian teaching. the arts. music. literature. archeology. and even the great inventions. are concernedas it does to the Italian people. In view of present world conditions. it would be a serious mistake and utterly unChristian to adopt any form immigration legislation that would discriminate against the people of other countries. that would set them down as inferior peoples. and that would evenNote thisand that would even brand large numbers of our own people as secondclass citizens. It is to be regretted that this appears to be the avowed purpose of the omnibus immigration bills reported out by the Senate and House Judiciary Committees. I close by saying that I certainly want to be present when the proponents explain. if they ever do. that provision of their bill. which would permit the Attorney General of the United States to say to an alien: Ten years ago. 5 years ago. or 6 months ago you had a thought which was prejudicial to the interest of the United States. How do I know?
