Mr. President. as my colleagues know. for several yearsin fact. ever since its enactment in 1952I have worked against the present immigration law which is commonly known as the McCarranWalter Immigration Act. On Wednesday of this weekJune 20I spoke in reference to a bill which would permit admission into the United States. under special preference. of a group of 350 sheepherders. At that time I said: The time has come for the Congress to face the issue frankly and admit that the McCarranWalter Act is a cruel. unreasonable. and oppressive law. and that action must be taken to change it substantially.
