We should remember and not overlook the fact in speaking of our growth. advancement. and power that the people who came from other shores anxious for liberty and freedom. and who made their homes here. helped us to develop this country and make it what it is. They are also entitled to some of the credit for the progress we have made. But the course we have pursued for upward of a hundred years of welcoming immigration to the United States some are now attempting to change. and they would shut the door against the people who want to come here and share in our prosperity. I am against any such legislation. I can remember when it was the policy of this Government to welcome the oppresged of every land to our shores.
