Question

How does President Harry S. Truman’s political views compare to the views of the majority of the 80th U.S. Congress at the time (in reference to the post-WWII European refugees to come to the U.S.)?

Answer 1

Answer:

These victims of war and oppression look hopefully to the democratic countries to help them rebuild their lives and provide for the future of their children. We must not destroy their hope. The only civilized course is to enable these people to take new roots in friendly soil. Already certain countries of Western Europe and Latin America have opened their doors to substantial numbers of these displaced persons. Plans for making homes for more of them in other countries are under consideration. But our plain duty requires that we join with other nations in solving this tragic problem.
