They went through pathless woods. they spanned yawning chasms. enconteAed the savage Indian. they felled the forests. they huilded railroads. they constructed great cities. and carved for you and for me a mighty and gigantic cowimonwealth. I hold that the responsibility Is on you and on me as Members of Congress of this great Nation to perpetuate those great institutions which have come down to us for the generations that are yet unborn. I am frank to say that if I had my way about it I would vote today to absolutely prohibit Immigration to this country for the next three years. I think we have enough disloyal people here now to assimilate. Why are the laboring men of this country for a restricted and prohibited Immigration? Because they lncw that every time a foreigner enters our port one of three things is going to happen. you have either got to create a new jo) Jor the forelgner. or you have got to remove some redblooded American from his job. or that foreigner is going to )e a. charge on the public. I say to you that I believe. with few exeptions. there are only two classes of immigrants who want to come to this country now. namely. the cowardly slacker who does not want to help rehabilitate the country in which he lives and which was devastated by the war. and the other one is the man who wants to come here to accumulate worldly goods and then go back to the country from which he came. I submit to you we do not need either one of them. I am one who believes that no man has a rigbt to live under the protection of the billowy folds of that flag unless he is not only 100 per cent American but that he owes no divided allegiance to any other country on the ruling earth.
