We are going to have an opportunity to vote on these bills in this House. There is no use for anyone to undertake by subterfuge or parliamentary strategy to continue to delay this matter. I have bills pending before the Immigration Committee that I have not been able to secure a hearing on. There is none of us who is harsh or inhuman about this matter. In my bill I have provided methods to reunite families under proper safeguards. if they are not public charges. and do not take jobs away from American citizens. In the United States today there are about 16.500.000 foreign born. Anyone with any mathematical accuracy at all may figure out that if they had been refused admission there would not be any serious unemployment problem in the United States today.
