To restate. and perhaps weary everybody. the purpose of this proposed amendment is to stop Filipino immigration into continental United States. and to make such prohibition effective upon the expiration of 60 days after the date of the enactment of this act. Years ago I introduced a bill to stop this type of immigration into the United States. It so happens that I hold 1930. which contains an elaborate discussion of this immigration question. which was participated in by myself and other Senators. I do not care to repeat what I then said except to this extent: We are not asking that such immigration be prohibited because of any hostility toward the Philippine people. I think we have been an unmixed blessing to them. We wish them independence.
