Mr. President. I point out that at the most this amendment would mean that instead of admitting. as now. from 80.000 to 90.000 immigrants a year. there would be admitted approximately 150.000. That would meaa an addition. at the most. of from 60.000 to 70.000 immigrants a year. a portion of whom would be the cream of the skilled persons of the world. and a portion of whom would be men and women in the greatest trouble. Selfinterest and compassion would then move hand in hand. When we fuse those two qualities. when we can serve selfinterest and. at the same time. show mercy and compassion. we shall have accomplished much.
