Chairman. I am opposed to this bill because I am opposed to any bill that will prevent the coming to this country of honest men who may from any cause be in the socalled ignorant class. but under which educated crooks of all kinds can come in without restriction. Under this bill thieves. cutthroats. and blackmailers at heart who happen to thus far escape arrest or conviction. who have been lucky enough to keep out of the clutches of the law. can come in freely and without restriction of any sort. because forsooth they can read or write. but the poor honest fellow. who is good at heart and wants to come to be a lawabiding residentand ultimately a citizenhere. as he has been in his native country. is kept out because. unfortunately. he can not stand the literacy test. That sort of law is not American. It is not for the good of all or any of the people of this country.
