President. I have here also an insert which I occaago. showing that the American Legion in their annual convention went on record as recommending: 1. Halting all immigration for 10 years. My bill calls for cutting it down from 153.000 annually to 15.000. 2. Immediate deportation of all allenborn persons who are members of any society. group. or organization that proposes to overthrow the Government by force or violence. 3. Immediate deportation of all destitute aliens. 4. Immediate deportation of all aliens who have entered this country illegally. The American Legion demands that aliens who are in this country illegally. and who are usurping the jobs of poor. unemployed American citizens. be deported. But what do we find? We find Colonel MacCormack. of the Immigration Department of this Government. throwing his fist in the face of the thousands of the sons of America who saved our country for Christianity and democracy. saying. "No. we will not listen to you. What have you done for this country? What have you to do for this country?" I say it is an insult by Colonel MacCormack to the American Legion.
