I call your attention to the statement that my good friend from Illinois made a few minutes ago. when he said he would vote to suspend it until 1950. If we are to put this into effect.* then why suspend it? If you are. going to repeal that section of the immigration act. then why not bring it on the floor of the House for that purpose and let us consider it? Some suggestions have been made that there should be an amendment added to this bill providing that certain relationships should be brought into this country. Of course. there are individual cases in which this works a hardship. but whenever you let down the bars by a general statement as to relationship. then you will have flooded this country with thousands of iinmigrants and probably thousands of undesirables.
Identified stereotypes
Generalizing that letting down immigration bars will flood the country with 'undesirables'.
