I think unintentionally inisled some 1e11mbers of tills conlnittee when lie stated or carried the idea tilat tile admissions proposed by this resolution exceeded the aggregate provided for under the law. He should have said definitely that it exceeded the quota front the certain countries involved. The operation of this law has reduced immnigration from 750.000 to 195.000 up to date. anid the wellauthenticated statement by men particularly close to this subject. with every opportunity to speak by the book. is that the immigration will not exceed 250.000 for tile current year. Gentlemen speaking onii this resolutionl did not state the issue. They avoided it: they sidestepped it. They did not attack tile law. They stated that some mysterious. unlocated influence is aind has been at work to break down the law. aind yet d.id not even cite a <ilgle instaince where any officer charged with its enforcement had connived at its violation. Ill most pathetic terilis we have been presented with the catalogue of the deportation or rejection of 37.71.9 imlalinlissible aliens through a period of 20 years preceding this restril:tion because of idiocy. imbecility. epilepsy. cOnstitutio l..i llntal. or nervois inferiority. iisanity. and so forth. Does the gentleniln find Illy justification ill these Citations for his opposition to this resolution? Certalinly the gentleman would not have adwitted any of the 37.71) who were rejected or deported in confortuity to law. Til gentlenmn does not comiplain that tile saine rovision of law is now being rigidly enforced. Does the gentielaln inean since we ]lave turned back so nany thousand undesirables. we should now turn I)ack it few hundred imiligrants who are admissible except for tile reason that they are in excess of the quota from tieir respective countries?
