For that reason I do hope that this amendment will not carry. Think of what they have done. they have well nigh doubled their population in a period of 3 years. Imagine what chaos and economic confusion would happen in this country if we were almost to double our population in that length of time. yet they smoothly and in a most efficient manner brought in all these refugees from Iraq. Iran. Yemen. North Africa. and from behind the iron curtain. they gave these helpless. hopeless. and homeless persons surcease from their sorrows and their trouble. When they were persecuted and pillaged in all these lands the Israelis said: "We will receive you." Israel would quickly be able to balance her budget if she were to close her doors and bar the refugees. but how can a mother deny her children entrance? It is in that spirit that Israel receives the refugees. but she cannot do that unless we give her help. For that reason. vote down this amendment. The amazing accomplishment of the state of Israel in its short years of existence has earned the admiration of the world.
