The Senate in its wisdom rejected that motion. So we now have before us an amendment in the form of the bill introduced by myself. the Senator from Minnesota . and 12 other Senators. We have opposed the McCarran bill because we believe it incorporates in the immigration. naturalization. and denaturalization policy of the United States certain factors which are dangerous not only to the security of our country but to the entire field of civil rights and the rights of citizens and aliens in our country. The first of the many objections to the McCarran bill which we have stressed. and which I shall stress again very briefly today. are that it does not provide for the pooling of unused quotas. Thus thousands of visas which might be used by freedomseeking individuals are wasted. Such freedomseeking individuals would make good citizens. They would come from countries like Greece.
