President. In 1930. right after the Great Depression. our civilian labor force unemployed was 4.340.000. a figure of 8.7 percent. Yet. in that year. 241.700 people entered this country through immigration procedures. Last year. our total immigration was 400.000. With a civilian labor force unemployed in the past month of 8.176.000. or 8.9 percent. we are asked to admit. in addition to the normal admissions. not counting the scores of thousands of illegal aliens in this country. approximately 100.000 Vietnamese and thirdcountry persons. At once. a roar of outrage has erupted in various quarters and has been shared by some of the more callous types of columnists and editorialists. Interestingly. many of the letters protesting the plans to admit Vietnamese refugees were signed by persons with such names as Lefebre. Dziadus. Poggione.
