As to a good many of the objections raised by the junior Senator from Oregon. those of us in opposition to the bill have already been defeated. at least in this stage of the controversy. but I say to the Senate that it is necessary to adopt an amendment which will protect. guarantee. and perpetuate the safeguards of the Administrative Procedure Act. I agree wholeheartedly with all these criticisms of the McCarran bill. On the basis of those criticisms alone the Senate should reject the McCarran bill. It proceeds on the assumption that aliens are bad peopleare suspect people. It seizes upon any pretext to exclude them when they come. It would deport them for a mental purpose. for violation of a trivial municipal ordinance. It would do all this without a fair hearing. It closes the door to refugees from Europe even further than that door is now closed. For all these things. I say.
