Kilgore Demands Immigration Policy Testimony from Eisenhower Admin
Sen. Kilgore says the Eisenhower administration has ducked invitations to testify on proposed changes to the McCarran-Walter Immigration Act. He notes multiple failed attempts since last April to get Secretary Dulles and other spokesmen to testify before his subcommittee. Kilgore cites Eisenhower's 1952 campaign criticisms but says no specific recommendations have been offered. The act, enacted in 1952 over Truman's veto, remains a flashpoint in immigration policy.
