I do not know how the Senator from Rhode Island was impressed. or how my other colleagues were impressed. by one statement made by the distinguished Senator from South Dakota. but I thought it was most illuminating when he said that he had no objection to 150.000 immigrants coming into the country provided they had the proper background. Is not that exactly the thing which we are fighting at this time. in the philosophy of the McCarran bill? What makes an immigrant from Great Britain. Ireland. or certain other countries which have unused quotas any more desirable than an immigrant from some other country? What constitutes in him a better background than that of an immigrant from Italy. Austria. Greece. or some other country?
