We ask for support for it now. It will be pressed. The quota law is not perfect but it fhas restricted immigration. and the big bill will cure most. if .not all. of its defects and imperfections. The quota law has reduced the influx more than 2.000.000 in less than two years. We admit it has created personal hardships. but the bill we have prepared will reduce these to a minimum. Under the proposed bill feasible foreign inspection and examination of immigrants will commence. Few of those who can not be admitted will ever start from their foreign homes. In conclusion.. Mr. Speaker. I believe I voice the sentiment of the country when I say that the great problem in the United States is not what we will do with the immigrant. but what the immigrant will do with us. The -real -problem is to check the influx so that we can assimilate and Americanize the over 14.000.000 foreign born and 20000.000 children of foreign born now in our midst. We must not let in a flood that threatens further to swamp our forces of Americanization and foreignize us.
