Mr. Chairman. while we are on the subject of correcting statements I want to say that the chairman of the Committee on Inligration yesterday referred to a judge who is working hard and diligently to make good. loyal Americans as a judge who seems "to wear alien spectacles." That statement is absolutely unfair and most unworthy of the chairman of the Committee on Immigration. It so happens that this judges name happens to end with a vowel. and if any one is so narrow minded and so bigoted as to take that into consideration no attention should be paid to his statement. Judge Salvatore Cotillo is a judge of the Supreme Court of the State of New York. the court of the highest and unlimited jurisdiction in our State.
Identified stereotypes
Judges with names ending in vowels are implied to be biased towards immigrants.
