Unemployment is the crucible of social unrest. it begets frustration. violence. and crime. It drains our national vigor. and transfuses our national spirit with a venemous blend of cynicism. distrust. and fear. Any Member who doubts the validity of that statement need only look at the national phenomenon we are now witnessing--an angry and beleaguered American public willing to slam the doors of sanctuary in the face of Vietnamese war refugees. because they fear that these Vietnamese will deprive American citizens of badly needed jobs. Mr. Speaker. it is indeed a sorry day when our unemployment problems can cause such a dramatic reversal in the traditionally generous American character.
