There has been an Immigration bill before Congress in one form or another during the period of time the Senator states. or approximately that period. which is just what I was going to say. but this bill Is not identical with the. other bills. It Is true that it contains one of the elements of the other bill. the literacy test. but this bill has many other elements in it and affects hundredsof thousands and millions of people who were not affected by the old bills. and It is in that light and with reference to those phases that I want to be heard. The President vetoed this bill. and his message is entitled to careful and respectful consideration. There Is no occasion for any tremendous haste. there is no emergency confronting the country. there is no great influx of immigration threatened within the next three or four days. we will not be overwhelmed by hordes of ignorant foreigners within the next three or foui days. we will suffer nothing by giving tothe Presldents message a decent consideration. and if the votes are here after discussion to pass this iniquitous and outrageous bill over the Presidents veto. they will be here. and they can be effectively cast. There are some other reasons why we ought to proceed with a little care. and I might say. in the first place. one of those reasons is that you will save no time by attempting to force a vote today. You will not get a vote today.
