Whom We Shall Welcome: Report of the President’s Commission on Immigration and Naturalization
In 1952, Congress passed the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which had many provisions objectionable to many Americans. President Truman vetoed it, but it was passed in June 1952 over the President’s veto. President Truman established the President’s Commission on Immigration and Naturalization [in September 1952]. He directed the Commission “to study and evaluate the immigration and naturalization policies of the United States” and to make recommendations “for such legislative, administrative, or other action as in its opinion may be desirable in the interest of the economy, security, and responsibilities of this country.” This Report is the result of the Commission’s study, and contains the recommendations for an immigration policy best suited, in its judgment, to the interests, needs, and security of the United States. “The bosom of America is open to receive not only the Opulent and Respectable Stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all Nations And Religions; whom we shall wellcome to a participation of all our rights and priveleges, if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment.” George Washington, December 2, 1783. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 was superseded by a new immigration policy in 1965. – Summary modified from the text and by TriciaG NOTE: Written in the early 1950s, this report contains terms and attitudes not culturally acceptable today (such as using the term “colored” and “wetbacks”).

Angelica
Angelica’s dearest wish is to better herself. Not to be a factory worker, struggling every day to survive, but to be a lady. Refined, respected, and rich. She jumps at the chance to be a companion to a lady, hoping that she can learn how the other class lives, and how to be like them. Young and naive, her dream seems within her grasp – but can she hold on to it? (Summary by Krista Zaleski) [chương_files]
