I submit that it is not supported by any fact. past or present. and it is not even supported by theory. It is supported by an assertion. by a plain. outright statement. without any evidence whatsoever to give credence to the statement. That seems to be the technique of the proponents of the bill. It is a hitandrun policy. Let us take a look at the facts. First. so far as quota countries are concerned our laws have established a numerical limitation on immigration. So this socalled flood of orientals could not come from those countries. They could only come. therefore. from the countries of the Western Hemisphere where there is no quota limitation.
