We must legislate not from the foreign but from the American viewpoint. We wish to be just and equitable and fair to all other nationalities. but can not permit for a moment any proposition limiting us in our right to legislate as we determine in the interests of our country. I am for a greater restriction of the number of immigrants. particularly at this time. for the reason that we are battling today to enforce law and uphold the Constitution. In those States having the largest percentage of the foreign element we find the greatest opposition to the eighteenth amendment and the enforcement act. It is the duty of every State and the governor of every State of this Union to support and enforce all of the laws and all of the Constitution.
