Into New York harbor last week sailed the first entire shipload of refugees to enter the U.S. under the Refugee Relief Act of 1953. "We come with gratitude," said Hans Freer, 34, one of 1,243 refugees aboard the chartered U.S. Navy transport General Langfitt.

That is the only kind of restrictions we want." As for peace, of course the Tories...
