Speaker. I object. I learned about the unsalutary features and unsoundness of the above bill from my distinguished colleague from Texas . who is one of the bestposted men in this Congress on immigration. and the necessity of getting these millions of aliens deported out of the United States. Then the gentleman from New York said that he tried to pass his other bill "to repatriate 30.000 Filipinos" and that I stopped him on February 18. 1935. and also on March 4. 1935. I did stop him on March 18. 1935. because it was a bad bill. because I had a reliable estimate that it would cost $900.000. and would accomplish no good. but merely furnish an excursion trip home on our peoples money out of the Treasury. and cause twice that many more to come over here.
