I believe that if we went into Texas. in some districts we would have the church agree with us. I have said all these 13 years that we have no right to separate a man from his wife. You and I have no right to separate children. but you did it in 1924 when under the National Origins Act you cut the quota down to about 154.000. and gave three countries alone over 70 percent of this quota. you gave Germany. Great Britain. and the Irish Free State about 110.000 of this quota and thereby froze out people in almost 60 other countries from the right to be united with their families in America. In the last census from the Department of Commerce I find that there has been sent to Europe almost $300.000.000 by citizens and aliens in the United States to support their immediate family relations abroad.
