I am using this time for the purpose of calling attention to the fact. in my opinion. it is necessary to secure action this summer on a bill to suspend immigration temporarily. notwithstanding the hue and cry that will be raised that labor is going out of the country. a bill to register all aliens now here. and to carry in that bill a clause providing for the deportation of those who withdrew their first papers in order" to avoid the draft. Save Americanism in the United States. Some day it may be too late. This is a Government of the people. by the people. and for the people. My colleagues. the time has come to declare that this is a Government of the American people. by the American people. and for the American people. That says nothing against any man now here and of us who have completed the process of naturalization or are completing it. But we have about -all we can assimilate for a while. and the time has come to put a check to those who are coining here meaning ill to this country.
