President. I am just about as clear. I think. in my views on this immigration question as Mr. Frank Morrison or any other Mr. Frank. it does not make any difference to me who he is or what organization he belongs to. Every man in the Senate knows. without my repeating. what I think about the immigration question. but this amendment is perfectly safeguarded and absolutely under the control of the Secretary of Labor. and none can enter the United States except with his approval. and then only temporarily. If in his discretion he says none shall so enter. then no Mexican can come into the United States under this amendment. Thus we are better protected than we are today from all Mexican immigration. In the first place. it says "For a period of not more than eight months." If a man comes into the United States to do a job which takes 10 days. then the 8 months provision does not apply to him. and he does not stay here 8 months. It says. "Not more than 8 months." in order to cover whatever time may be necessary.
