Speech #660272563

I had not intended addressing the House for a few minutes yet. at least. but in view of the fact that I stated in the preliminary remarks when we were about to agree on time that I was with the gentleman from Kansas on this rule. and in view of a portion of the remarks just made by the gentleman from Kansas. I think I would better say a word or two right now. I am with the gentleman from Kansas on the rule for the consideration of this immigration bill and I am with him in favor of the bill. but so far as the prevention of importation of goods to which he made reference I shall have to see the bill in the next Congress before I am willing to say how I shall vote upon it. I agree that the matter that this bill is to bring before the House is a very important matter. I came into this body in favor of stringent immigration restriction. I may have changed my mind on a number of public questions since I have been here. but this is one upon which I have not changed my mind. On the contrary.
