Everybody in every country where
aadltions are bad is trying TO get t(
t.is country.
IN Warsaw there arc 100000 Jews
iad Poles standing in line n the hope
.. getting tickets and passports. and
wsry one Of them has America as his
effective. IN the United States poll
texans have brought pressure to bear
sron .he State Department to pass
hordas OF undesirable aliens into this
country The vast numbers deslrous 0.
eaning here are limited b. the size
nd quantity OF the ships able to carry
item westward.
After seeing what I saw and hear
ag what heard, believe more firmly
tan ever that we should shut off I'M
-gration until we have enacted proper
avs that Will protect US from the un.
:esrable invasion. We should havs
islectlve immigration laws, giving Il.
:,s right to determine what sort o.
migrant we Will accept and also tn.
