I have given the firstthe elimination of racial discrimination. Second. the substitute bill would remove discriminations based upon sex. Why should we in the United States. to whom the whole world looks with favor because of our attitude toward our women. why should we. after our record of leadership in giving full rights to women. why should we practice discrimination against women in our immigration laws? An American husband today can bring .his foreign wife into the United States as a nonquota immigrant. He can bring her in immediately as a nonquota immigrant. Any German girl who wishes to enter the United States merely has to marry one of our soldiers who is stationed in Germany. or any other American she can persuade. and in that event she will enter the United States. regardless of the date of marriage or regardless of the quota. However. when an American girl marries an alien. she can secure for him only a preference under the quota.
