Mr. Chairman and gentleman of the committee. consideration of immigration legislation is always a complicated. difficult. and trying proposition. because we are dealing with human beings and legislation on Immigration matters directly affects foreign nations. There are continual battling at the doors of the Committee on Immigration foreignborn individuals. organizations of foreignborn individuals. and foreignborn interests who are anxious to tear down our restrictive immigration law. In their objections to the present law it may be that from time to time there is some good basis for their objections. While I believe in a strict restrictive immigration policy. still I believe it is our duty. If we discover that an injustice has been done or is being done by our present laws. to remedy such injustice. There has been a great amount of clamor and propaganda with reference to the reuniting of families. Under a bill reported by the Immigration Committee last week the real basis for that propaganda or that request will be met without doing any particular violence to our restrictive policy. So within the coming fiscal year these families will be reunited. -I do not have the time to go into the details of that measure. as I want to call your attention to one other proposition that I believe merits our consideration.
