Just a little while ago. Mr. Speaker. the present chairman of the Comnmittee on Immigration. Mr. BURNETT. of Alabama. was in Sicily learning what he could about this immigration question. andl he asked the people there. "What has become of the bandits that used to give you so much trouble?" and they answered. "They have all gone to America." Gentlemen of this House. we owe a duty to that flag hanging there above the Speakers chair. Thomas Jefferson said more than 100 years ago: While we are providing for the fortification of our country against a foreign foe. Fain in favor of fortifying it against the influx of undesirable Immigration.
