Mr. President. the Senator from Washington lives In a State which adjoins the Canadian border. and naturally he is more familiar with immigration from Canada than I would be. who live in a State which adjoins the Mexican border. He knows the conditions along the Canadian border. and I have great confidence in any statement he may make based upon his own good judgment as to what should be done in respect to immigration from Canada. In Arizona we have the same intimate trade and commercial relations with Mexico that the State of Washington has with Canada. I am particularly concerned that the Government and the people of Mexico and also the governments and peoples of the rest of Latin America shall not feel that the Congress of the United States has passed a bill which slaps them in the face. which indicates that they are of an inferior race. and not the sort of people we would like to have in this country as compared with our neighbors upon the north from Canada and Newfoundland.
