The largest city of my district registered. in the two draft registrations over 20.000 foreigners between the ages of 18 and 45. I mean foreigners vho are aliens. outside of the natuialized foreigners. and not including women and children and alien men over 45 years of age. There are undoubtedly 50.000 aliens in this one community. including women and children but not including naturalized foreigners. I think the time has come when we must cease panderingto these foreigners [applause] who have not assimilated the Ideas of America. and I want it distinctly understood. both here and in my district. that I stand for America first. If there is a man or woman of foreign extraction in my district who has a relative or a friend abroad. and that relative or friend can not pass the test that this committee shall lay down for his admittance. then I choose between my country and that foreigner in my district.
