President. I cannot make it too plain to my colleagues of the Senate and to the world that I am opposing the KerrCoolidge bill. because. I assert. if enacted. it will break down the immigration barriers. encourage violation of the law. make two holes in the cheese where there Is now but one. and wreck all the laws which your forefathers and your predecessors for years and years. since Washington was President of our country up to the present time. have enacted and wanted obeyed. I am fighting the bill because I stand for Americans in preference to foreigners. and the time has come when the Members of the United States Senate. as well as the people of the whole United States of America. must make it plain whether we and they are standing by the people of our own country or whether we are standing by the people of foreign nations. There is just one issue: Are we for America for Americans. or are we for America for foreigners?
