We have sone Members in the committee who take credit for these restrictions. Still we have never urged on the floor an open door. I am for restriction of immigration. but not for the restrictions of the act of 1924. I am for selective immigration. but I am also for humane legislation which will do something to help these women and children who are separated from their families. . Would it not be more humane if the Congress of the United States would permit the uniting of these families--namely. the wives and children of persons who entered this country prior to July 1. 1924.instead of keeping them separated? These men who came to our shores were allowed to come here under the law and are now engaged in useful occupations. and in some cities have formed part of our working machinery and have adapted themselves to the manner in which business is conducted in this country and our methods of business management.
