Speech #830013138

I shall be very happy to join the Senator from Minnesota in those amendments. because I think we have already been provenso far as the general sentiment in the United States is concernedto have been correct when we first fought for those amendments. In fact. I believe one of the most interesting things about the last campaign was that in the midst of the campaign the Republicans rather changed their position regarding the entire immigration issue. During the campaign they talked quite differently from the way they talked here on the floor of the Senate when the McCarran bill was pending. and when the debate on that bill was proceeding. When the Republicans began to discover that large groups of people in the United States were aware of the fact that that bill was in serious need of amendment. the Republicans campaign speeches began to take on a tone a little different from the one they had used in the early days of the campaign. as the Senator from Minnesota will recall.
