I think that when the farmers of Texas want illiterate Mexicans admitted across the border they ought to be denied that right. [Applaiuse.] I think that when the Japanese come across the Pacific tind try to root out Americans in California lhey ought to be denied that privilege. I think that when foreigners come to take the place of men in the factories of the North and East who have borne the brunt of battle in Europe.and when they ieturn find their places occupied by others. they ought to be denied that privilege. I have the honor of being a member of the Committee on Imlmigration. but when we prepare and have for consideration a bill restricting immigration I want to support that kind of a measure which applies to me and my section as well as it does to the other fellow and his section.
