It is our hope that the Congress always will. I know that Congress always will if the character and genius of those who founded this country Is not overwhelmed. Our new immigration law Is written for all who are now within the United States. for all who come under the protection of our great Constitution. which begins with the magnifleont words of the preamble. " We the people of the United States "-people. not citizens. We are all the children of immigrants. and our new immigration bill as written makes it clear that it makes no difference whether our ancestors came on the Mayflower or whether they missed the first boat. Now that real restrictive immigration legislation is assured. our next step is the development of real Americanization. It is our duty to reach out to every last person in the United States of whatever race. to take him by the hand and let him know by word and deed that we are for him and that he must be for us. I congratulate the Daughters of the American Revolution on the work done along these humane and patriotic lines. Madame President and ladies. our new immigration legislation. passed by decisive votes in each House. Is Americas second declaration of independence.
