Mr. President. we have been fooled so many times on this immigration proposition that I want my position to be perfectly plain. I am opposed to this immigration. If I had my way. there are a lot of foreigners in this country whom I would put on a boat in 30 days and send out of the country. and I would keep the balance out. I would make this country an American country. and I would keep it American. We have a lot of these people coming here who. on account of the cheap manner in which they can exist. and the way they do exist. are depriving American citizens of positions that belong to them. and making vagrants and criminals out of people by overloading and staying around the cities and becoming criminals instead of going to places where they can get work.
