I want to hear one of the men who are oppo- ag this bill plead for America just once. and I say that without malice toward anyone on the face of this earth. In regard to the amendment offered by the gentleman from Now York and which I think is still pending. why should we not ask a mans religion and tabulate lim when he comes into this country? Is It tny more of "n inil0t. if it is claimed to be an insult. to ask an immigrant what ]i. religion is than It is to ask an American citizen what his religion Is when you are taking the census every 10 years? There are forms of religion that we do not want In this conatry i nler any consideratlon. I do not refer to the Christian religion. neither do I refer to the Jewish religion.
