Some of us who shall listen to the debate on the bills will be anxious to find out just what emergency prompted their being brought in under. a rule when so much important legislation is still pending in this short session. During the six years that I have been in the House. and during all that time I lave been on the Rules Committee. I have always had grave doubt about any immigration bill which was presented to this House. It is not so much the particular provisions of any immigration bill as it is the spirit behind the bill with which I am deeply concerned. Here today I want to discuss that spirit which I believe pervades our country to an alarming extent. and I want to discuss it without any thought of the past or recent events. I approach it looking to my countrys future.
