So if you have confidence in the McCarranWalter Act. as far as security is concerned. I do not see why you cannot have confidence in the security provisions applicable to this bill. Beyond that. a Democratic President advocated the admission of refugees. Now a Republican President advocates that refugees be allowed to enter this country. It is part and parcel of our foreign policy to make friends. particularly those of the NATO countries. where many of these refugees reside. Those countries cannot. from an economic standpoint. feed. house. and clothe those refugees properly and we must lend help. We have assumed world leadership and must exercise that world leadership. This bill is part and parcel of a foreign policy. an enlightened foreign policy. whereby we say to the woebegone and the distressed. "We will in a modest way. help you because thereby we will set a good example to all the nations of the world to follow." I hope this rule will prevail.
