Speech #670004248

I am of the opinion. Mr. Speaker. that the reasons that were assigned in the last session do not now exist. They did not exist then. and they do not exist now. At that time gentlemen who had demanded haste for the passage of this legislation were fearful that within three or four months millions of immigrants who were declared to be undesirable would be flooding our country. Today. I am sure. after three months have passed. that in justice to themselves they can not again make the same charges and sway the House in favor of this legislation. Instead of these millions. whom you feared. only a small number did enter the United States this year.
