I may say that in my own State of Connecticut. in line with comments that I have just made about the racial groups in my State. and as our civilrights legislation and the enforcement of our FEPC law in Connecticut demonstrate. there is no basic difference between a German. an Italian. a Ukrainian. a Greek. a Norwegian. an Englishman. or an Irishman. These prejudices. which grow out of our past. and which are ingrained in the McCarran bill. are in defiance of the democratic principles which we are practicing in the State of Connecticut and to which we give allegiance throughout our country. Mr. President. our proposed amendment in the nature of a substitute affords a real opportunity to improve our immigration practices. to remove racial and sex discriminations from our immigration laws. and to permit for the first time an equitable approach to our quota system.
