I am going to vote for an amendment to this bill which will shut the doors of immigration completely for a given length of time. Under the present order of things the Immigration laws as they are administered today is a farce. It does not make any difference to these agents whether you say that 100.000 can come in one year or 200.000. they will permit half a million to come in. just as they have done this year. and no account has been kept of them. There are immigrants coming into this country all the time. and no account is kept of them. Mr. President. they buy their way through certain Government agents into the United States.
