I have no objection to that. But in addition we are excluding many persons. both men and women. having great skills in science. engineering. medicine. the arts. literature. and in other fields. for other reasons that go far beyond the necessities of national security. At the same time. we are closing our eyes to the fact that today approximately 1.500.000 immigrants are coming into the United States illegally. All that it is necessary for these people to do is to walk across the Rio Grande. which separates Mexico from the United States. They are called wetbacks. but they do not even have to wet their backs.
