My good friend the Senator from Massachusetts the other day said some contention had been made that the first shot of the Revolutionary War was fired in New Hampshire. I wish to say. in passing. that. regardless of where the first shot was fired. or where the shot was fired that was "heard around the world". I hope that when this matter shall have been finally determined upon the floor of the Senate. the defeat of this bill will be a shot that will be heard around the world by every single alien who proposes to enter this country in violation of our immigration law. If the shot that sounds from the Senate Chamber around the world when this bill is defeated is heard by every alien who intends to enter our country in violation of our laws. I say it will be the second best thing that has been done in America since we freed ourselves from the power of those who live beyond the blue waters of the Atlantic.
