Speech #690145666

Let me make one appeal to the Committee on Immigration. I beg of you on bended knees to give some consideration to the various bills now before the comnittee to admit at least the mothers and fathers of citizens as nonquotas. and to give some consideration to those bills now before the committee that will In some way facilitate the entry of minor children and wives of aliens who have been here at least three years and who have decared their intention to become citizens of America. The President of the United States recommended that in his message to Congress. and I appeal to the majority who want to support the President to at least humanize the act of 1924 to that extent.
