Mr. Speaker. I shall not speak at length on this report. because I believe the House well understands my views on immigration. It has been my consistent record to vote against all measures that have for their purpose the breaking down of our immigration laws. In other words. as a general principle I am for immigration restriction. We already have entirely too many foreigners in our country. I believe if we are going to pass immigration legislation at this Congress it should be the bill known as the Moore bill. which is now before the Rules Committee. favorably reported by the Immigration Committee. which will restrict existing immigration by 90 per cent. That bill I support. I do not support these special bills to benefit a little alien group here and a little alien group there. Let all aliens comply with our immigration laws instead of asking for exceptions. When American women marry abroad they should comply with the immigration laws and let their husbands take their turns in the quota and come in according to law. There are only a few affected directly by this bill. but if we adopt this conference report it lifts many from the quota and automatically permits added aliens to take their places. Seniority rules were violated and disregarded in appointment of House conferees. or probably the conference report would have been different.
