Speaker. that decisions of our courts should be respected until reversed by a higher court. Mr. Speaker. the few Members on the floor of this House have heard this immigration debate now for the third time inside of one year. Has not the time arrived when ..we should very calmly. considerately consider what the immigration now coming to this country consists of. namely. women and children who are either joining parents or going to the father- and husband? Annually during the past few years on or about May 1 various articles appear in the newspapers to the effect that reegnt immigrants are about to commit outrages on the 1st day of May. The usual announcements were made this year. May 1 passed away quietly and peacefully. Let us once more return to normal thinking and judge men and women. whether native or foreign born. by their real vorth. character. and reputation. Let us give credit where it is due. Let us eliminate any idea which is being spread far and wide throughout the United States which tends in any way to create dissensions amongst our people on account of race. creed. color. or religion. These United States have been.made greater and bigger through the efforts of all the peoples of the earth who have come here Let us teach the immigrant what America stands for and what real. true American citizenship requires. Then if we are to have a new immigration law. let us base one on justice to ourselves and to those who may desire to come. not forgetting our traditions of old.
