Sooner or later we will burst at the seams. It does not make sense to crowd and crowd and overcrowd because such continued importations will surely lead to our downfall. The McCarranWalter Act has certainly proven entirely adequate to our immigration program and the attendant problems. There is no reason to depart from a program which is adequate and designed to take care of normal immigration problems without flooding our population with those from other lands. In my opinion there is no justification or merit to the Presidents request for virtually an opendoor policy favoring worldwide immigration into the United States. I might add that we must not overlook that part of the world which we know as the Far East when we consider refugees from communism. I am sure there are untold millions in the Far East who could qualify on that basis just as there are millions in the Middle East and in European countries. The FBI StoryA Report to the People
