Mr. Speaker. 102 were Democrats. The Democratic majority in this House has therefore made a record here that they must face in the future of favoring legislation compelling immigrants coming to this country to produce certificates of character whenever tile country from which they come issues such certificates. In other words. the Democrats in this house have taken the position that in addition to the excluded classes named in the bill foreign Governments should have the right to determine who else should be excluded. Putting it another way. they declare that no Russian Iebrew shall be admitted to our shores if Russia objects. and no citizen or subject of any other country. fleeing to us from religious or political persecution. shall be admitted here if that other country objects.
