Chairman. to cast a vote upon this floor which will. now or hereafter. take from the mouth of any Americanborn baby one spoonful of food in order to give it to a child born on some other shores. I am unwilling to cast a vote which will. now or hereafter. bring about a condition which will take one single job from an American citizen in order to give it to some one born on a foreign shore. And I do not say that with any prejudice against any man who comes from.a foreign nation. My ancesters. in common with those of every man who sits upon this floor today. emigrated from a foreign shore to the American Continent. Why did they do it? Because they sought a betterment of their condition.
