They have declared it in California by the voices of 154.000 voters to less than 900. They tell us what they have seen and what they have felt. Shall we grant them relief. or when they ask for bread shall we give them a stone I I believe that this House is ready to pass this bill. if not just as it stands. substantially as it stands. so as to check and suspend this immigration. I hope that it will do so. I hope that we shall be able to answer to our own consciences in this matter and to say to the people of this country that in passing this bill we have acted in accordance with the traditions of our civilization and the principles of the Constitution itself.
