I rise in opposition to the pro forma amendment. I wanted to ask my colleague from New York a question. but as he has taken his seat I will not ask it. The question I had in mind was this: The main trouble in naturalizing aliens. I believe. is in the fact that so many of them have unlawfully entered this country and then when they go before an examiner they can not qualify. therefore. they refrain from going before an examiner as often as they can and then when they do go before an examiner they find themselves unable to qualify. I do not believe our examiners are narrowminded and warped individuals. as they have been styled. I think the examiners who represent the Department of Immigration. as a usual thing. are men of integrity and men of high type who are there to protect our Institutions and our country from an influx of a horde of aliens. who. If entered. would lower the economic structure of our country and thus cause our wage earners to earn less money. These foreigners would then thrust themselves upon our society for us to nitaintain and take care of. I commend our immigration officials for holding the bars up high and strictly enforcing our laws. and I would like to see the laws more rigidly enforced.
