Yetthese areprecisely the contributions being made by the Republican vicepresidential nominee das he begins .his campaign. In his Labor Day address to citizens of South Bend. Ind.. false statements were made in two areas of public concernimmigration reform and asylum for refugees from Communist tyranny. These were echoes of the knownothing * days of American history. There is no Justification that I can imagine for turning time back to these days of vision and discord. According to news reports. the Republican vicepresidential nominee said that the administrations immigration bills would "open the floodgates for virtually any and all who would wish to come and Work in this country." He went on to say that if these bills passed .the Congress. "the number of immigrants next year will increase threefold and in subsequent years will increase even more." In other words. Mr. President. according to the Republican nominees estimate. we could anticipate some 1 million immigrants annually. And finally. Mr. President. the Republican nominee laid unemployment and welfare problems at the doorstep of a new immigration policy. But what are the facts about the adminstration bill? What are the facts about a bill which carries out the objectives long sought by four American PresidentsPresident Truman.
