But. as a matter of fact. Is not one great purpose of the immigration bill a desire to permit the admisston to this country of the fireside friends. of the relatives and friends? Is not that the purpose? If I understand the spirit of the debate here. we are seeking almost absolute restriction of immigration. We are permitting only a very limited number to come. not to add to our population because we need increase. but in order that the friends and relatives of the people now here may come. The persons of the newer immigration who have conie so recently atre those who have friends and relatives here. Would we not be doing an injustice to our own new citizens. who come here in good faith. if we place the quota upon such a basis as is proposed by the Senator from Pennsylvania?
