Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to recommend as "must" reading for all Americans. a book which has just come off the press on the subject of immigration. This book. by Mary Barclay Erb. is entitled "While America SleepsFoundations Crumble." and may be obtained from the American Committee on Immigration Policies at 20 E Street NW.. Washington. D.C. At the time of the passage of the 1965 amendments to the immigration law. those of us who opposed the amendments warned that the amendments would drastically change the heart of our immigration policy which had historically governed the admission of aliens. and that by adopting the firstcome. firstserved basis for immigration. the new law would provide for the admission of large numbers of aliens whose background and ideology might wholly be dissimilar to that of the overwhelming majority of Americans. Already we are witnessing the impact of the new law in the immigration flow and this impact. as pointed out by Mrs. Erb does not augur well for the future of this Nation. Although the book is sobering and will cause grave concern to all who read it. it ought to be in every library in America because it tells the truth as to what is happening now to our country as a result of the elimination of our immigration controls.
