After WWII, there was a movement to have all the Jewish refugees come to America>>> That opinion is based on Mr. Chomsky reading? (Did he Comment on Sephards in Arab Countries too) What page?

REFUGEE PROBLEM IN THE POSTWAR YEARS MOTIVATES THE PASSAGE OF THE DISPLACED PERSONS ACT OF 1948. SIGNIFICANT IN THAT IT DISTINGUISHES BETWEEN IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES. * OFFICIAL IMMIGRATION POLICY (THE 1924 ACT) IS LEFT IN PLACE. * ALLOWS FOR THE ADMISSION OF 100,000 DISPLACED PERSONS ANNUALLY. ALTHOUGH THEY WERE TO BE CHARGED TO A NATION'S QUOTA. * STRANGELY, THE ACT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO BENEFIT THE VICTIMS OF NAZI AGGRESSION. BUT THE MAJORITY OF THOSE LET IN UNDER THE ACT WERE VOLKSDEUTSCHE FROM EASTERN EUROPE--MANY OF WHOM HAD BEEN NAZI SYMPATHIZERS--AND WERE NOW BEING EXPELLED FROM EASTERN BLOC COUNTRIES. * AT SAME TIME OPERATION PAPERCLIP--ADMISSION OF GERMAN ROCKET SCIENTISTS. A CLAUSE IN ACT GAVE THE HEAD OF THE CIA HIS OWN QUOTA TO ADMIT ALIENS "IN THE INTEREST OF NATIONAL SECURITY OR ESSENTIAL TO THE FURTHERANCE OF THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE MISSION." * ALL TOLD ABOUT 600,000 PEOPLE ENTERED THE COUNTRY UNDER THIS LEGISLATION. FROM 1948 TO 1952. MUCH OF THE OPPOSITION WAS BASED ON ANTI-SEMITISM, BUT ONLY 140,000 JEWS ENTERED THE COUNTRY AS DP'S. mrs.umn.edu
