Mr. Chairman. I am a new member of the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. We gave this bill very deep consideration and I have based my opinion on the testimony before the committee. The measure was recommended by the Department of Labor. it was recommended by the Commissioner General of Immigration. and therefore on that testimony I favor the bill. I believe it is humane. I believe any competition with the laboring men of this country by alien parents over 60 years of age whose children are American citizens would be inconsequential. I am a strong restrictionist. but I am for this bill because it will alleviate many hardships due to the separation of families.
