Mr. Speaker. ladies. and gentlemen. there is a growing interest in immigration legislation. There is a welldefined sentiment that is strong and general throughout the country that immigration should be rigidly restricted. I voted several years back for the Burnett immigration bill. which was one of the best bills up to that time on the subject. and which has done more. perhaps. for restricted immigration than any act as yet put on the books. I have voted for every restriction iiiensure that has been put before the House since I have been a Member of Congress. It has been my observation that the restrictionists are generally in favor of prohibition enforcement as well as strict immigration law enforcement. while on the other hand the counter group in Congress known as the antirestrictionists generally vote wet on the prohibition issues. and oppose any attempt at immigration restriction. There is a reason for this. What is the reason?
