It is the place where winter spends its summer. It is the country of promise and the land of rainbows. and. above all. where wild acreage meets and greets you wherever you go. What a splendid contribution the distinguished gentleman from Florida could contribute to his State if he opened the gates of opportunity to allow selected immigrants from Europe to come into his native State and there help to develop that wonderful land which is today going to waste because there is no one to till the soil. no one to fill the empty houses that are crying for tenants. and no one to collect the crops that are being burned by the ravages of the sun and the tempests of the elements. Mr. Speaker. I want the gentleman from Florida to realize that he has insulted 40.000.000 people in the United States who are the sons and descendants of immigrants who fought upon every battle field in defense of their country in times of war and who contributed to its glory in times of peace.
