Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee. I am opposed to this immigration bill. If it becomes a law. the Denmocratic Party will have to shoulder the responsibility for its passage. Its enactment will be an acknowledgment upon the part of those who favor it that national bumptiousness has been substituted for economics. and that antipathy to the foreigner has taken the place of social science. To the satisfaction of a vast majority of the American people the Democratic Party has recently redeemed its promises and fulfilled its pledges by tearing down the Chinese wall of protection. behind which the special interests of the country fattened for many years upon the vast body of the public.
