It requires a high degree of faith and devotion to sit through all of the speeches that occur in general debate. and for those whose devotion keeps them here at this hour I have only admiration and respect. I want to address myself to the devoted Members this afternoon for a little while on a question that does not involve any particular controversy and it involves no consideration of politics or of partisanship. I refer to the question of immigration. naturalization. and deportation. When George Washington was President of the United States we had approximately 3.900.000 people. From that day to this. through the operation of forces that we might very well characterize as centrifugal. this country has become an expanded. farflung country of approximately 126.000.000 people.
