Mr. Chairman. I am not in- condition to do this subject justice. but I can not be silentI think from a sense of dutywhile this bill is so hurriedly passed through the House of Representatives. I want to say for my fellow immigrants in the Houseyou are all immigrants. what have you got big heads about. every one of you. If this bill had been passed 50 or 100 years ago hardly any of the House. would have been here. It would have kept the Pilgrim Fathers out. They had no passports. The meanest thing about this billand I say that with all respect to my good friends who framed itis that the whole theory that this was to be the land of the free and the home of the brave and an asylum for the oppressed is destroyed by it.
