Today we have heard about the Celler bill of a year or so ago. which was really the father of this legislation. And we can be absolutely certain that if this bill is enacted into law. new and bigger demands will be made before this law expires calling for more and more exceptions. more and more people to be admitted without regard to quota limitations. It is always easy to dress these requests up in the innocuous garments of unfortunates. the displaced. and the refugees. One thing is certain. that they will never run out of material. It is said there are more than 20 million displaced people in the world today. many times that number who are unfortunate and distressed. There are millions of socalled refugees around the world. If we are to establish a policy of providing an asylum for refugees. whether they be political or otherwise. then we have a lot of work cut out for us and we all know that this 236.000 is but a drop in the bucket. There are several million refugees in South Korea todaypolitical refugees who are unfortunate and in need. That country is terribly overpopulated. The same is true of India. of Pakistan. of Japan. of Europe. and of many other spots around the world. Yet we are told that the passage of this bill is imperative in order that we can get into a big act of alleviating the plight of refugees. Well. if it is a good thing for us to do that. if it is a sound policy for us to follow. then why limit this bill to only 236.000? And if we are going to limit the number to only 236.000. why be so naive as to contend for even 1 small minute that this is not just the forerunner of things to come?
