Yet it is proposed to say here to people throughout the world. "You submit to the tyranny of the Government under which you live. or. if you escape to us. we will return you to that tyranny." Tyranny exists in many countries of the world. notwithstanding the recent war and our efforts to bring universal peace. There is trouble and there will continue to be trouble in many of these countries. How far we ought to go in restricting immigration I do not undertake to say. For many years I voted against the immigration bills in the House. but finally voted for the last one. because we were told that under the terms of that bill. if enacted into law. our Government would be able after the war to keep out the horde of immigrants that might seek our shores. Whether it is because of lack of enforcement of the law that this is not done I do not undertake to say. I have no doubt that everywhere people age looking to the United States as the land of liberty and safety and home.
