I have consistently supported the prohibition legislation that has been enacted here. I say say further that I ala in full accord with the desire to restrain the activities of unworthy aliens. So strong is my view on that point that I deeply regret that the Committee on Immigration. instead of confining its work to legislation that is not very material. does not present for our consideration a bill looking to a permanent law upon the subject of immigration which would absolutely exclude all undesirable foreigners. For some unaccountable reason there has been a failure to bring in such a bill. although the promise was made a long time ago that an opportunity would be speedily given us to vote on such a imeasure. Why that promise has not been kept can only be conjectured.
