Why do you continue to support Smith when he has never repudiated that speech and that threat against the southern people? I charge that that speech was made with his knowledge and consent. " In the face of these things why do you still support Governor Smith? "Mr. Webb. you know something about immigration. Governor Smith is for open doors and unrestricted immigration. Do you know that the immigration law is violated today in New York City more than in any other port in the United States. more foreigners are being smuggled into New York. more Roman Catholics slipped in in Governor Smiths State than in any other place in the country. where he as governor of the State. and Mr. Walker as mayor of the city. have full control. That law is violated as it is violated nowhere else in the Union. Mr. Webb. are you for restricted immigration? Would you protect and preserve America in her integrity? Do you want to turn over America and have an influx of unfit foreigners to come in here and swamp this country and control it and. as Jefferson said.
