Mr. Chairman. I do not agree In substance or conclusion with the argument of the gentleman from Texas . who yesterday addressed the committee on the subject of immigration and immigrants. He must have forgotten that of all the teeming millions who make up the population of the United States the most energetic. prosperous. and progressive on the earth. a large proportion are of foreign birth. and that they are among the most deserving and valuable of our citizens. It has been said. not without the truth. that the Latin races are decadent and decaying. that the AngloSaxon is gorged by prosperity. and that the Slav is the only -man left who is willing to fight and die for his religion.
