All Senators and Congressmen must do this. they are compelled to compromise and adjust their opinions. because if each one insisted that all legislation should be enacted in a form which suited him in every particular practically no laws could be enacted. Therefore. I shall now. upon the final passage of this bill vote for its enactment into law. first because I believe in the principle of restricting immigration. and second. because in this Instance the President of the United States has not publicly announced to the American people. as I have urged him to do in the course of my remarks on the floor of the Senate while the Harris bill was under discussion. that he approves of the policy of the State Department in restricting immigration through visa control and that it will be the fixed policy of his administration to strictly enforce the immigration laws. Perhaps a majority of the Senate is right in preferring a quota fixed by law rather than to depend solely upon administrative action. I shall vote for this bill.
