Mr. Speaker. this bill has had the consideration of the Immigration Committee for several years. This is a temporary measure. It is to be effective for two years only. Nonquota immigration comes to this country at the rate of 100.000 a year. That class of immigration is not affected. The record shows that for every two immigrants coming into the United States one takes the job of an American. I say the time has come when. as between foreign born and Americans. the American shall have the right to keep his work for himself and for his family. In closing I wish to say that it is with regret that we lose one of the most valuable members of the Immigration Committee. the gentleman from the State of Texas. Judge Box. He has served on that committee for several years with credit to the membership of the House.
