Mr. President. just a moment ago the Senator from Minnesota -who used to be a Republican and who is now a FarmerLabor representativeI believe criticized me for reminding the Senate about the murder of an American boy by a foreigner. a product of the immigration system that now curses the country. I do not know of anything that strikes so vitally at the very heart of the American life as to permit a policy to obtain that will cause the murder of an American boy walking along the street with his father. approached from the rear. stabbed in the back and murdered by this fiendish foreigner. who stated that the reason he killed him was that lie wanted to see how deep he could drive a dirk in his back. That may not appeal to the Americanism of the Senator from Minnesota.
