There is no question about that. We have discussed that time and time again. but as I have said. the Committee on Immigration in the last four or five years has not had a complete day or two days to discuss the problem fully. It seems that through some influence or other this kind of legislation is brought up at the last moment and therefore the very things we have been trying to correct have not been cured. I have had many Members of this House come to me and ask. "Why can not my constituent bring in his father and mother?" Under the act of 1924 you can not do that. You must wait until they can come in under a preference. and the preference must come within the quota. and I say to you notv it would be a great tribute to the American citizen that the Congress of the United States should say to him. "You bring in your father and mother if you are able to take care of them."
