| Well, Mr. Cameron in particular supports scorn on the 24 Act, but frankly, I'm not quite sure what's wrong with wishing to maintain the ethnic balance of a country. | |
| Almost all countries do that. | |
| After all, Mexico, as part of its immigration law, it says that there shall be no immigration that will upset the ethnic balance. | |
| The immigration policy of Israel is designed to keep Israel Jewish. | |
| The Japanese would never dream of an immigration policy that reduced their ethnic balance. | |
| So my question, I'd like the opinions of all of you. | |
| Why is that something that was utterly unacceptable for the United States and bigotry and horrible, but that is routinely practiced without being criticized by virtually every other country? | |
| You're making the point that Sam Irvin made at the hearing. | |
| Sam Irvin, Southern Democrat. | |
| And an articulate spokesman for that point of view. | |
| And by the way, you are right. | |
| Mexican law, it's the Ley Integral de Migración or something. | |
| I forget the name of the law. | |
| It said one of the purposes of the law will be to preserve demographic equilibrium. | |
| That is the phrase that is used. | |
| Equilibrio demográfico. | |
| I think that law has been amended so it's no longer there. | |
| I think it was amended because of... | |
| Mexico's desire to influence our policy. | |
| It's a fraught question, but some people would say, well, one of the principles of the United States is that we do not discriminate on the basis of national origin. | |
| That has become part of our civic life, and I think the 1924 law clearly worked in the opposite direction. | |
| So I think it contradicts something that we declare to be part of who we are, part of our civic nature. | |
| And so that's why I think that repeal of the 24 law was a good thing and that we're better for it. | |
| Something that we didn't talk about as that fed into the 24 Act, and I was just wondering if anybody had some thoughts on it, was the Cold War. | |
| I mean, that was, in other words, it was really a combination. | |
| You were right in talking about the Civil Rights Act or the Civil Rights Movement as well as guilt and all this, but the Cold War was also integral to it because we were competing with the Soviet Union in these newly independent or soon-to-be independent countries in the Third World. | |
| Dean Russ testified to that, by the way. | |
| To your point, Dean Rusk privately told Abba Schwartz, a State Department official who wrote a book called The Open Society, and writes about this. | |
| Schwartz, the night before he testified, basically said, we're an Anglo-Saxon country. | |
| But when Rusk showed up to testify, he saluted and did what LBJ wanted him to do and spoke in favor of the legislation. | |
| It's a complex question, but it just brings up so many... | |
| Emotions. And if you are on the Italian or Greek side or Eastern European or Jewish side in the 1920s, I think the emotions of Emmanuel Seller, resentful and bitter against this, | |
| demanding what the United States says it offered, which was equal opportunity, those sorts of emotions are going to factor into our political decision-making. |
