The chairman of the committee has said that this is a temporary matter. a matter of expediency. Other members of the committee have said that it was not alone a temporary necessity and one of expediency. but they were in favor of a longer time of extension. So that I fear that under the guise of what is called a temporary extension we may be writing a bit of permanent immigration law. So if it be as the chairman of the committee has said a temporary expediency. if it be but a recognition of the hysteria at home and the hysteria abroad. then why not place it at such a time as will enable this excellent committee on immigration to formulate a law. The policy of the United States has always been a policy of the open door to every person. no matter how humble he is. to come to this country and who was willing to accommodate.lmself to our ways and customs. and to submit to our form of government and become an American citizen. It has been the refuge of the oppressed of all nations. and I do not think it timely now that we in this hurried fashion should write what may be a permanent policy of our Government.
