Furthermore. we say China may send us 100. India may send us 100. Japan may send us 100. and the Philippines may send us 100. but we limit the total number of orientals from all over the world to 2.000 because the McCarran bill would set up an Asiatic or oriental triangle. The MeCarran bill allows 100 from each country. but. in the aggregate. the number is limited to 2.000. In the case of the Philippines. we have taken away a right which has been theirs for a long time. They. too. have been limited. of course. in the number that can enter the United States. They have been limited within the past 2 years. although we gave them the right of naturalization during the war when we still remembered their great contribution to the security of our country and to the peace and security of the world. But even when we limited them to 100 there was no limitation on the admission of a Filipino if he were a Filipino by birth. If he came from England or Brazil or the Argentine. he came in under the quota of those countries.
