Besides. I want to call the Se~nators attention to this thought. The bulk of the immigration to which this test will really be directed and which it will really exclude comes from certain countries in the south of Europe around the Mediterranean. where the people who emigrate to this country are almost entirely Illiterate and belong to the class of day laborers. I think. if the Senator will examine the factsI have not the statistics at hand. and I would not care to take up the time to put them in tile RECORD if I had themhe will find in the countries to which I have made reference the percentage of the illiterates is very large. and he will find. I think. further. if he will examine into the facts. that the percentage of illiterates who come from that country into this is very large.
