One need only read Emma Lazarus poem on the Statue of Liberty: "Give me your poor. your oppressed." et cetera to understand where the American people come * * * and our invitation to them. Is one supposed with one national background to be inferior to a person with another national background? The native Americans. I might point out. were the American Indians. who have not been treated very well. Each and every one of us is either an immigrant or the descendant of an immigrant. and yet we are here in this great body as Americans. no matter what our national backgrounds. There was a reference to certain groups of people not assimilating themselves. if you will. into our society. Nothing could be further from the truth than that.
