Mr. President. in view of the explanation and my understanding of it. I am not going to insist on my objection. but I am going to fight any measure looking to unrestricted immigration. any inroads made upon the present law on that subject. There are now being smuggled into New York and other points in the United States perhaps a million foreigners a year. Mr. Brisbane. in an article published sometime last year. said that perhaps a million people were being smuggled into the United States. It is a very dangerous situation which confronts us. I can see in this particular instance that it would work an injustice upon these families to keep the members separated. the husband here and the wife and children in a foreign country.
