I will state to the Senator that my amendmeat does not touch the preference class. It relates only to the quota. and it reduces it from 1 to 1 per cent. There would be 40.000 fewer immigrants coining into this country if this amendment were agreed to than under the present law. My position is that there are several million unemployed in this country. and if we can keep out 40.000 more next year and let our own people fill the jobs as they become vacant. it will be better than bringing foreigners ihto the country to take the jobs.
