I offer the amendment not so much for the purpose of having it adopted as for the purpose of enabling me to answer statements made by the gentleman from Texas [Mr. Box] and the gentleman from Florida . It is to be deplored and regretted that it is permissible for Members from time to time to make statements and charges for which there is no warrant or justification and which are made solely for the purpose of creating prejudice and resentment in our country against the immigrantsyes. and against the foreign born. The gentleman from Texas made a charge on this floor. and many times heretofore. that the proposed resolution is being brought in here at the behest and command of the socalled foreign bloc. I say without fear of successful contradiction that the statements are not only unwarranted but untrue. as there is no such thing as a foreign bloc. and no one knows It better than the gentleman from Texas.
