Mr. Speaker. I want to counsel with my Democratic brethren as an humble Member of the House. and I want to say to you that so far as I am concerned I shall not be for this Immigration bill at home and then dodge it or fall to perform the promises made to the people when I have a chance here in Congress to get the bill up for consideration. If you can do that. that is for the individual conscience of every Member. Let us join now the favorable action of the Senate and pass this bill. We need not pass bills in this House about the tariff and about the high cost of living. for the Republican in the Senate will kill those bills or the President will veto them. but we have an opportunity now to pass something that the people want. that we know the Senate has passed. and which our platform demands. If we want to legislate for the constituencies who have sent us here. now is the opportunity to do it. This immigration question is vital to our civilization. and a refusal to go on record by defeating a yeaandnay vote will not deceive the people.
