Chairman and gentlemen of the committee. I want to compliment the committee that has had this matter under consideration for the careful Investigation and. in my judgment. conscientious consideration they have given the matter. It is my judgment that it is hard to conceive of a more important proposition to this country of ours than the proposition of immigration. I do not intend to go back to the discovery of the country to find the condition that exists in America today. Some one said early in this debate that we. from the interior. who were somewhat unfamiliar and did not have contact with the immigrant direct. were exercising too much power with reference to this bill. I have no apology for myself to offer for my interest in this bill. and I want to call attention to the fact that we are not to be blamed for exercising our votes in this matter because of the horrible example that we have by reason of the sections that are abused by immigration. I wonder how many people in this country tonight want this to be an American country and want the people living in the United States to obey the Constitution of the United States as the fundamental law of the land. I wonder how many are giving that serious consideration.
