I believe that we should keep the door to America open. I believe in the words inscribed at the foot of the Statue of Liberty: "Send me your poor and your huddled masses." This principle should prevail in this country. and it has always been our philosophy. I do not think we should have a law in effect which will deprive a small country like Ireland from having a fair number to immigrate here. As the gentleman from New York has pointed out. the Irish people over the centuries have made great contributions to the building of this Nation. The forebears of our late beloved President.
