But. we have a situation here where. under section 7 you are going to be bringing people in here that you will not be able to assimilate. I want you to listen to the gentleman from Pennsylvania when he goes into detail on this. Let me read to you this telegram from the Veterans of Foreign Wars. These are the boys who shed the blood: Veterans of Foreign Wars vigorously oppose special immigration bill admitting 240.000 refugees and escapees. Passage would make mockery of McCarranWalter Act and pose new threat to Internal security. Existing immigration law and quotas provides generous treatment and maximum safeguards.
