S. 747 does not provide for as much administrative discretion. so that there is less room for the law to be administered in a discriminatory way. Mr. President. opposition to revising our statutes are based on two arguments: First. the fear that the admission of more immigrants to the country would exhaust our economic resources and add to our already serious employment problems. and. second. the fear that too many persons of Oriental background would be admitted into the country. upsetting traditional patterns of American life. Reasonable analysis of both arguments. however. shows them to be quite unfounded. Let us analyze each of these in turn.
