Mr. Chairman. if the gentleman from New York who has last spoken does not get his historical facts any more correctly than his genealogy of some of the officials. then there is not much dependence to be put upon them. The Commissioner General of Immigration. Mr. Caminetti. is *not an Italian. not an immigrant. but was born in the United -States. and is a "native son of California." His grandfather was an immigrant. But. Mr. Chairman. that is not the question after all. The question is the character of -the man who is coming. Whether he comes from Italy or whether he comes from Germany or whether he comes from France. if lie comes here for the purpose of aiding inbuilding up the material prosperity and staying here.
