Mr. Speaker. America has been often referred to as the melting pot of racial and religious groups. But this statement is true only in a certain sense. Immigrants from every corner of this distracted world have been welcomed here. they have enjoyed equal opportunities under equal justice. and they all have availed themselves of the privilege of becoming industrious. lawabiding. and patriotic citizens of this great Republic. They all have helped in making America great. and have vowed to defend its institutions and the democratic way of life. In that sense America is a great melting pot. At the same time all ethnic and religious groups here have retained many of their ethnic traditions and have held firm to their religious beliefs.
