Mr. Speaker. under this proposed legislation the countries who have the most immigrants will be allowed to send the largest number of immigrants. Now. there will be abundant time to fairly consider this matter of immigration into this country at the next session. The people have indorsed the Republican Party to do that thing. Inside of 40 or 50 days everything can be provided by law. We will be here and we can discuss openly and fairly the whole matter. and those Members who come here new and fresh from the people will be able. perhaps. to enlighten us about the wishes of the people on this question of immigration. Why the need of forcing this sort of legislation through without discussion and without education? I have been a student of this matter. somewhat in a feeble way. for many years. and this is the first time I ever heard of the proposition-" Germany. you have 100 people here and you may send 3 more.
