I also believe that the State Department is not warranted In its efforts to interfere with the legislative freedom of Congress. There is sound constitutional support for this statement. Moreover. the history of the functioning of the State Department in undertaking to control Immigration questions by treaty or otherwise shows an almost unbroken series of failures. to some of which I have already referred. When you let the State Department control immigration questions through its negotiations. you give foreign powers a voice in our immigration policy. which violates the spirit and purpose of the Constitution and forces our country to consult the rest of the crowded. starving. and striving world about the class of people which shall be admitted to help shape the future of America. Gentlemen. the fact is the executive department and the Congress of the United States and. I fear. the Maerican people. have not come to a full appreciation of the magnitude and fiportance of this situation.
