Mr. President. it is always a difficult matter to legislate as we should upon the subject of immigration. Whenever a committee having to do with the subject opens its hearings the friends of those who wish to bring in their friends and relatives from foreign countries besiege the committee. and frequently Members are told that if certain restrictive provisions are put in the bill those back home in their districts who want immigration unrestricted will resent it and vote against them in the next election. I submit that it is high time for those who love America and her institutions to assert themselves. and exercise the greatest caution in the matter of admitting at this time certain foreigners into this country. We are told in various periodicals that within the next two or itree years some of the foreign countries are preparing -to dump upon America ten. twelve. or fifteen million people.
