Mr. Speaker. there was a time not so long ago when America proudly proclaimed this country the national melting pot. capable of absorbing the unsorted aliens of every land as fast as they came to us. Now that the melting pot seems to have reached the saturation point we are considering legislation for the deportation of some of them who seem unable to get the American point of view. In the days when the meltingpot idea was more popular than it is at present this was a country of unexplored resources. Apparently opportunities were limitless. Aliens were needed. They were welcome. often they were enticed to come over here. and not Infrequently they were brutally exploited.
