Chairman. the American people are in favor of this legislation. at least 95 per cent of them. The American Congress. acting two years ago. denonstrated that fact by their Representatives on the floor of this House and in the Senate. for economic and American reasons. Gentlemen who have opposed this bill before and who are opposed to it today are constitutionally opposed to all legislation that w\ill restrict immigration. They cite the special cases of hardship which would apply to any condition or circumstance. and hold them up as arguments that there should be no legislation so far as restricting immigration at the present time is concerned. We must look the condition squarely in the face. We find thie reason presented by the committee in its report in November. 1920. justified by the facts. and again justified by the present conditions of the country. which are more urgent and important now than they were at that time.
