Mr. Speaker. in a speech made in this House on January 23. 1920. on the enactment and.enforcement of immigration laws necessary to the protection of America as the. home of Americans. among other things. I said: The history of the dealings of Congress. with Immigration is the record of difficulties caused by shipowners. contractlabor importers.. and other obstructions embarrassing all efforts to protect the. country against. in. coming criminals. prostitutes. paupers. and anarchists. In the record of this House and: reports of committees and joint committees. and. commissions created- by. both Houses. I have not found one statement that these laws are generally and effectually enforced.
