Mr. Chairman. I rise to oppose the amendment for the purpose of asking the chairman of the committee or the gentleman from New York whether or not they can give the committee any approximate estimate as to the number of citizens of the United States who might bring in their brothers and sisters under the age of 21 under this provision? I want to call the attention of the chairman of the committee to the fact that there are a good many of us on this side of the aisle who have undertaken to follow the gentleman on his immigration bill. and we are somewhat distressed over here to note his gradually growing practice of accepting amendments to his bill absolutely weaknening and destroying the purpose for which the bill was contemplated. Now. here is the gentleman from Washington. the chairman of the committee. proposing t6 accept without protest amendmuents without offering to the House any explanation or information as to what number of these undesirable immigrants would come into the country. and I ask the chairman of the committee if he has any information on that subject. because if he has I think we are entitled to the benefit of it.
