I say that we Americans who were born here are as much entitled to be recognized as that most recently arrived immigrant. I do not say that we are to. assume to ourselves any superiority. but I say this is my country and that I. who have lived here all my days. am just as much entitled to be considered as is the man who walked down the steamer gangplank in time to be counted in 1890. t Mr. SWANSON. Mr. President. I am not a member of the Committee on Immigration and I have not heard the entire discussion of this matter. but I would like to have the Senator - from Pennsylvania state the reasons why anyone thinks that the foreigners who came here in 1890 are deserving of more I privilege in the count than foreigners who came in 1800 or 1810. What reason do the opponents give for insisting on a preference being given to those people. and all quotas being based on them?
