I am iii favor of this immigration bill. because I believe if there is any ine question which seriously confronts the American people more than another it is the question of immigration. There has been much said against the restriction but it narrows itself down to the question whether we desire the protection of those now living in Amerlea or to favor those living in Europe. If immigration continues as it did prior to the war. certainly the large cities wonld soon become thore European than American. Why should we bring Europe to America? If any of our people prefer to live its Europeans. it would be better for them to go to Europe and live rather than jeopardize our Americanism and. through competition. destroy out iirosperity by bringing Europe to America. 616.3 It has been said that this bill Is discriminatory in that under the census of 1890 It will favor certain nations above others.
