When that condition is established. when the relations between the two countries are now friendly. when they are better than we expected they would be some years ago. this firebrand is thrown into the Senate. It would prove irritating. it would give offense to the Mexican people. It would. in effect. be a notification to them that the rule we apply to them is different from that which we apply to all other Latin American or Pan American countries. that it is different from the rule applied to Cuba. it is different from the rule applied to Canada. it is different from the rule applied to islands of the West Indies. from which we have some immigrants. The proposal of the Senator from Connecticut seems to be that whenever any immigrants begin to arrive from any Latin American country other than Mexico we will at once irritate the government of the country from which those immigrants come by enacting a law to prohibit them from coming and providing a quota for those countries. The irritation will be continuous and will arise whenever immigration starts from one of those countries. j
