Our first obligation should be the union of family ties. Fathers. mothers. children. immediate relatives. When these obligations are exhausted. realizing we allow only 150.000 inmmgrants a year to enter this country. then I would change the policy of our Government regarding immigration. For the protection of American labor. I would recommend selective immigration. We should take an inventory of the needs of every economic industry in our Nation and find out in what industries men are needed. and only allow those to come in who could fill those positions. Indiseriminate immigration. allowing every Tom. Dick. and Harry to come In. skilled or unskilled. is unfair to those who have given of their today that you and I may enjoy our tomorrow.
