I would say. "All the world loves a fighter." particularly if lie is fighting for an ideal. for a principle. for freedom. and for liberty. Today. ladies and gentlemen. irrespective of what has been going on here in this great forum of public opinion. I realize every speaker has been fighting sincerely for an ideal and principle which he honestly believes in. .In regard to the quota restrictions under our laws it seems to me that this distinguished Ilouse can be classified in two groups on the principle of restricted immigration. First. those who believe in absolute restriction aind maintain that there should be no letting down of the bars. while on the other hand there are Members of this House like myself who are fighting for the ideal. of the preservation of the home and reuniting of families. thathave been severed by this inhuman immigration law that is now upon our statute books. irrespective of the quota. The previous speakers have referred to the aliens who come into our country as immigrant foreigners. Mr. Speaker. ladies. and gentlemen. when you go out of the White House. the home of the President of the United States. there facing his home directly you will find a square which is hallowed by the statues of four great foreign soldiers.
