Mr. Chairman. I reject vehemently the intimation. or outright charge. that the persons to be admitted under this bill are unworthy of the opportunities America offers them. How dare we. children of immigrants that we are. make such a charge? It is a reflection upon our very blood. This bill carries safeguards against mistakes in selecting the persons to be admitted. It is. in fact. highly selective. Some of us think it too selective. but no doubt these restrictions are necessary at this time. I am not arguing that point. My own interest In this bill is not entirely impersonal.
Identified stereotypes
Generalization that immigrants are unworthy of opportunities.
