May I say to the Senator that if he were able to persuade the Senate to do that he would then appeal to the logical minds of the people il the great countries to the south of us. They have repeatedly stated in editorials in their leading newspapers that they could see some reason for our dealing with a vast immigration from Mexico of a character not desired. because they themselves do not desire to have a certain class of immigrants come into their countries. What ."riles" them. what feeds the appetite of the antiAmerican spirit down there. what leads to an intense feeling on the part of their logical minds is the fact that although there is only one country of the 19 that is sending to us what might perhaps be called undesirable immigrants. we propose to punish all the 19. We propose to " insult." as they say. the other 18.
