Speech #740077885

I want to discuss a number of matters that have come before this body. Unfortunately. I find that a particular gentleman seems to take personal issue with me at every opportunity. and no matter how meritorious the immigration legislation proposed may be. he finds time to object to it. In addition to objecting to it. he makes a very fine speech the next day in which he brands me as one who believes in an opendoor policy of immigration. He is a bugaboo in this House when we talk about immigration. He seems to get a number of people to applaud him. I venture to say if I asked any one of those people for what they were applauding. or what the gentleman said. they would not know. neither would they know fully the contents of the law or the import of the bill objected to.
