Yes. I am willing to do that. I think it would be much fairer to suspend all immigration than to protect some and say. " You can come." and to others. "You can not come. you are a blondeand you can come. and you are a brunette and you can not come." I think it would be better for this country. and I ask the gentleman from Oregon whether he has not introduced a bill in the House to suspend ilmigration? In fact. I know he has. I have the bill right here in my possession. and though it provides for suspension it permits the entry of not only the near relatives of citizens but also those of noncitizens. So there may be no charge of misstatement. I will read the actual exemption provision of his suspension bill: .Provided. however. That the father. mother. brother. sister. and cll(ren of any foreignborn person already in the United States may be permitted to emigrate from a foreign port to the United States. I say to the gentleman from Oregon that I am ready to vote for his bill today. or at any other time. in preference to the bill he is now advocating. His bill was restrictive. but it was not discriminatory and had some element of humaneness.
