Mr. President. I wish to say a word about the immigration message which the President sent to the Congress today. Mr. President. for some reason or other. it is extremely difficult to get any action on immigration in the Congress. The most we have been able to get are some palliative measures to meet the most urgent requirements as they affect refugees and escapees. The President has constantly tried. and many of us in the Congress have constantly tried. to get something done. The progress. I must say. has been very slow. except when it came to passing measures like the socalled McCarranWalter bill. which very considerably restricted the opportunities for immigration. and which. in my opinion. carried out other very unjust aspects of the law as they affected immigration. Mr. President.
