"The Republican Party supports an immigration policy which is in keeping with the traditions of America in providing a haven for oppressed peoples, and which is based on equality of treatment, freedom from implications of discrimination between racial, nationality and religious groups, and flexible enough to conform to changing needs and conditions... We approve appropriate action to oppose the imposition by foreign governments of discrimination against United States citizens, based on their religion or race."
