Mr. Speaker. I can not bring myself to favor the immigration bill now before this House. The time. in my opinion. has not arrived when we should adopt such a drastic policy on this important subject. This country of ours. in common with all others. has suffered to some slight extent by the evil tradings and doings of some of its inhabitants. But is this to be laid at the door of those who come from foreign lands to take up their abode by choice in this land of opportunity? Does the theory of Americanization apply only to the foreign born? Do not many of the native born. descendants of those who first settled America. need at least a little Americanization themselves? In my own State I can speak with the assurance that those who come from forei.-n shores to settle within our borders are lawabiding. industrious. and in time good American citizens.
