Mr. President. the law in this area simply does not make sense. Right now. a visitor to this country may be denied. according to the Immigration and Nationality Actalso known as the McCarranWalter Acta temporary. nonimmigrant visa simply because of beliefs he or she may hold. In the last few years there have been innumerable cases of people who have been denied visas because of this law and it is embarrassing to the United States in the world community. This law is contrary to everything our country stands for and it is clearly not what Jefferson. Madison. and others had in mind when our Nation began.
