Now is the time to choose between American unemployed citizens and more aliens. I shall vote against the bill and for American labor. This bill is one of the first wedges driven at the heart of our immigration laws. If we should pass this bill the alien bloc would be encouraged and their cause given great impetus. I hope this bill will not be approved. I hope you will strike the enacting clause from it. If you fail to do that. then I hope you will accept the Jenkins amendment. You can not amend any bill sufficiently. which has for its purpose the tearing down of our immigration laws. to obtain my support. We now have some 13.000.000 foreign born in our Nation and some 25.000.000 of foreign parentage. Yes. already too many. too many colors and creeds. America will do exceedingly well to Americanize those already here before letting in another horde.
