We have given them our boys. we have given them our blood. we have given them our substance. for Gods sake do not give them our country. That is what this bill fixes to do. It is said that this Is a refugee bill but there is no refugee about this thing. even in this warmedover hash. It is a half refugee bill and half of it is to ease the overpopulated sections of Europe. a policy the Republican Party has always opposed. aided by the Southern Democrats. and you know it. Last year this House passed the McCarranWalter bill by a vote of 206 to 68. When it was vetoed by the President. it was passed over the Presidents veto by a vote of 278 to 11n.
