Mr. Speaker and gentlemen. I agree with the gentleman from California that there is a certain demand for this legislation. but it is due to the fact that a prejudice has been created by the professional restrictionists among people who have not studied the immigration question. I do not agree with the gentleman. however. that the farmers of this country desire this legislation. or that they are clamoring for restrictions. Just the opposite is true. because last year and even this year we have had many gentlemen here from Texas. Colorado. California. and other States. requesting. demanding. and insisting that relief be granted them. and that we should suspend the literacy test. and that we should not further restrict immigrattion. so that they could get enough labor to enable them properly to work and take care of their farms. Mr. Speaker.
