Just as soon as they found that the United States was simple enough to pay all their expenses for a trip back home. naturally. they would take the free trip. But their brothers and their cousins and their uncles and their friends would redouble their efforts to come here. knowing that when they got tired and wanted to go back home we would pay all of their expenses. This bill is a mere pretense and excuse at stopping immigration. If we want to stop immigration. why do we not stop it? Why do we not pass the bill I have before this committee to stop all immigration for 10 years? I will vote for that bill. That bill means something.
