We are told that millions of Americans today are existing on poverty wages and we are spending more and more money to raise their standard of living. Why. in the face of this national problem. should we deliberately add to it? Why should we compound the problem by letting down the floodgates and admitting thousands and thousands of additional immigrants? Do we have an obligation to the world to do this? The answer is no. and we will be unwise and imprudent to do it. America hasand has had for yearsthe most liberal and compassionate immigration policy of any nation in the world. According to testimony given before the Senate Judiciary Committee. other countries of the world are not only highly discriminatory in their immigration policyindeed. some even preclude immigration of any sort. This latter policy is probably the ultimate in discrimination as used by the proponents of this bill. But I am not aware of any great rush on the part of such countries to alter their national policy simply because someone says it is discriminatory.
