Yet the welcome mat. which should be put out by us. because we always have been the leader in such matters. is. if anything. a little. tiny one marked "parole" and under the express jurisdiction of the Attorney General. on a casebycase basis. and necessarily with an atmosphere of reluctance surrounding the entire procedure. Mr. President. we did not do that in connection with the Refugee Relief Act or the Displaced Persons Act. Those two acts turned out to be remarkably successful for our country. and those who came here under those acts were almost uniformly persons who made very great contributions to our life and our economy. They never came in such numbers as to represent opening wide the floodgates or the inundation of our employment markets.
