These are but the major objections to this plan. The bill which I am sponsoring today is one originally introduced by the Honorable EMANUEL CELLER. Through it the national origins quota system would be eliminated and in its stead our Nation would establish in its book of law its basic policy of acceptance of persons without regards to race. color. national origin. or religion. Preference groups would be established with regard to purposeas family unification. occupational preference. national interest preferencerather than with regard to national origin and would establish a unified quota system based on 1950 census. with minimum and maximum percentages set equally for all countries. The bill would eliminate insubstantial ground for revoking or denying citizenship and arbitrary grounds for denying admission. It would make clear distinctions in requirements for entry between aliens seeking permanent residency and visitors coming for other purposes.
