Chairman. the amendment proposed by the gentleman from Alabama which provides that no person shall hereafter come into this country who is unable to read and write the Constitution of the United States is a most dangerous and selfish proposition. I am opposed to it. and I am opposed to the bill with that proposition in it. I am surprised that it �hould -be offered by one of the leading Democrats of this House. and apparently favored by nearly all of the Democrats. Slurs have been cast by some gentlemen against the immigration to our country from southern Europe. The Italian. Polish. and Bohemian immigrants have been harshly denounced. I rise again to say a word in their favor. I assert that they do not make bad citizens.
