Speaker. I want it expressly understood that in my remarks I make no reflection upon any Member of this House. I cast no reflection upon any immigrant coming to our shores for the purpose of becoming an American citizen. I take this view of the question: That so long as we are able to restrict immigration and select the proper seed for immigration. we shall always have room in this country. at least for the next century. for the right type and class of immigration. I want that clearly understood. I want it understood also that I am not an alien baiter. But I do stand first. last. and always for the protection of American life. American institutions. and American working conditions. The Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization told the members of a committee In the House and the members of a committee in the Senate that not one single cne of these socalled hardship cases involved any crime or involved moral turpitude. He said they have been gone over time and time again in his department with a finetooth comb and that there was not a taint In a single case. I want to make the statement here that not one single solitary file has been sent to the House committee nor to the House of Representatives. as was ordered by the ODay resolution which was passed in the closing days of the first session.
