I am not talking about people who might come here and interfere with American labor. but I am talking of people who are entitled to come here under the terms that we have granted to these people in the act of 1924. How long is this going to continue? Only 3 per cent came in in the last seven or eight months. If it is the law of Congress that the consul. without a standard. without any further consideration except saying "I refuse to grant you a visa." can stop immigration. what is the sense of suspending the immigration law? If the consul has not the power to suspend. let us at least allow the persons who are blood relatives to come in.
