We have imported them to do our hard and dirty and unpleasant work and the time is now upon us when they will insist on doing all the work. and especially the work of government. And there are some gentlemen on this floor today who know that wlen they vote their convictions they will be punished because that vote will conflict with the supposed right of people in some other country. Commissioner of Immigration. Mr. Henry H. Curran. said in a recent speech in New York City: I had a telegram from a Congressman the other day. who demanded the admission of a certain Greek immigrant. because he said the Greek vote in his city depended upon the admission of that immigrant. and there were 8.000 Greek votes in that city. Just what Is a " Greek vote" in America? What is it doing here. and what business has it to be here?
