Mr. President. I oppose as strongly as I can the McCarran antiimmigration bill. S. 2550. I oppose it not only because of its prejudicial approach to immigration problems as such. but also because I believe it is undemocratic and wrong as it affects the people and institutions of the United States and is subversive of the fundamental requisites of a successful foreign policy. I should make it clear at the beginning that I am not opposed to codifying. clarifying. and improving our immigration laws. I most emphatically support the idea of such clarification and improvement. Generations of illadvised. and often prejudiced. piecemeal legislation has made our existing laws a great goats nest of mismatched. overlapping. and conflicting legislation.
