It should be enforced. The aliens now at Ellis Island should be required to return to their homes and the shipowners should be required under the law to carry them back -without charge. If this resolution does not pass. the shipowners will be forced to return the immigrants to Europe. Mr. -Speaker. I am opposed to the passage of this resolution. It establishes a bad precedent. If it passes it will return in the near future to annoy those who passed it. I am in favor of preventing all immigration to the -United States for at least 10 years. and I dare say that I voice the sentiment of a large majority of the American -people when I say this. Gentlemen of the House. I sincerely trust this resolution ivill be defeated.
