Mr. President. a short time ago we had under consideration a bill to subject immigrants to the quota under the immigration law. Various amendments were offered relating to national origins and other things. and finally we came to the original proposition presented by the senior Senator from Georgia relating to the restriction of immigration from Latin America. including Mexico. On motion the original part of the proposal of the Senator from Georgia was sent back to the Committee on Immigration. On the 29th of April I entered a motion for reconsideration. and now. without wishing to have the matter considered today on its merits. but to have it back on the calendar for consideration in due time. I move that the Senate proceed to the consideration of the motion heretofore entered by me to reconsider the vote whereby Senate bill 51. a bill to subject certain immigrants to the quota under the immigration laws. was recommitted to the Committee on Immigration.
