Speech #870163652

Washington. D.C.. attended by more than 500 officers. delegates. and associates from all parts of the country. The resolution reads as follows: Whereas since the enactment of the Immigration and Nationality Act in 1952. there has been an unremitting attack against this monumental legislation by Communists. hyphenated Americans. political auctioneers. and starryeyed liberals. and Whereas the maintenance of our protective national origins immigration system. embodied in the Immigration and Nationality Act. is vital to the preservation of this Republic. and Whereas patriotic organizations and individuals have succeeded in repelling a direct frontal attack for repeal of the Immigration and Nationality Act. and Whereas the enemies of the act have resorted to the technique of chipping away at the act by lax enforcement. administrative interpretations and amendments which have the effect of undermining the foundations of our cultural integrity and threaten our security. and Whereas there are now pending in the Congress proposals to expand the classes of aliens who are admissible for permanent residence outside quota limitations. to pool unused quotas. to abolish the national origins quota system. and to recompute the entire basis of alloting quotas to the end that our historic immigration policies will be abandoned: Therefore be it Resolved. That the American Coalition of Patriotic Societies Inc.. calls to action all patriotic organizations and individuals to resist lax enforcement and administration of our immigration laws and to ferret out and defeat all amendments to the immigration laws which would weaken or undermine them by either admission of additional numbers of aliens or relaxing the requirements for admission or deportation.
