Many of them are the lowest class. and their own countries are glad to get rid of them.- They are a menace to our country. What we need now is to make 100 per cent Americans out of the people now in our country instead of allowing more to come here. At the fourth and fifth annual meetings of the American Legion they unanimously passed resolutions urging the prohibition of Immigration for five years. I ask that a copy of the resolution be printed in the RECORD and referred to the Committee on Immigration. of which I am a member.
