Mr. Speaker. a group of Members repeatedly send statements to the country. not based upon actual facts. which. when read by one not fully informed. conveys the impression that there are in this Congress many men who. if given an opportunity. would destroy our present Immigration law. I have heard many Members discuss the immigration problem both on the floor and in the cloakrooms. but I do not know of one man in this body who is not in favor of our present restricted immigration policy. It is folly to assert or intimate that certain Members seek to lower the bars and flood the country with aliens. Restriction of immigration Is a necessity. is so recognized by every rightthinking person in this country. native and foreign born alike. and to my way of thinking the day will never come when our present policy will be abandoned. It is here to stay. As conditions demand the Congress probably will make changes such as further restricting immigration or requiring stricter supervision along the Mexican and Canadian borders. but it is unthinkable that any group of men now serving in Congress seek to destroy existing laws. Such statements should be ignored and are made solely from the standpoint of political expediency. We have in this country today several million of our citizens out of employment.
