I want to say this. that I do not think there is a harder working committee in the House than the Committee oim Immigration. and I am in a hopeless minority there. But I will say that these men on the majority side of the committee are sincere and honest and are trying to do the best they can for the country. When it comes to the matter of the consideration here of any proposed legislation that sounds like prohibition or restriction of immigration. why. you could bring in any kind of a bill. even a bill to deport me and half a dozen others who have the courage to come out and do certain things that do not suit certain restrictionists. and the majority might vote for such a bill. The trouble is we have not been tolerant enough and broad enough. as the gentleman from New York stated only a few moments ago. I hope the prejudice that has been prevailing throughout the Nation in the last few years will soon become a matter of the past and that we will all treat one another fairly and justly and show some of that brotherly love that we hear so much about here and there on the part of certain people.
