Mr. President. in conclusion. I submit that these intolerable conditions must not be allowed to continue. If we are to accept the arguments of the sponsors of the McCarran bill at face value. it is clear that this is an attempt to establish a permanent philosophy and a permanent program for our immigration procedures. This law would only tend to perpetuate the inequities and the injustices. the correction of which has long been overdue. It would arouse resentment on the part of many good patriotic Americans who would naturally feel the impact of this discrimination. Consequently. it would tend to weaken the national economy and undermine the unity of the American people. which is ever so important. especially at this time.
