But the Senator from Arizona knQws that what I have told him is the truth about Mexican labor coming into Arizona. He can not deny that I have told him the truth about Canadians coming over the border into all our Northern States from Halifax to Vancouver. I think I know a little something about the immigration business. I can not hope to expound it as well as some of the good linguists in the Senate. and I can not get all over the world in five minutes as the Senator from Arizona did. but I know a little about conditions on the Canadian border. I have had evidence enough submitted to me about the Mexican border to know something about it. too. The States or countries in the Western Hemisphere which the Senator mentioned have been given all the quota they need. according to the statistics which have been presented with reference to immigration which has been coming into. the United States. We have given them all they want. I have not heard any complaint about their wanting any more. If they do. this is not the last session of Congress and we may be able to help them out hereafter. But if the Johnson bill. which has been approved by the Immigration Committee in the House. is the nearest thing to a good bill. a reasonable bill. and a satisfactory bill that can be had. then I must admit that I do not know anything about the matter of immigration.
