Speaker. it had not been my original intention to say anything on this particular bill. but I may say. after hearing my colleague. the gentleman from Massachusetts . plead for the humanities. that I know when he pleads for the humanities before a jury he can undoubtedly bring tears to the eyes of the most stonehearted men in the world. But the humanities have little to do with this bill and the manner in which it is being considered. Here we have an omnibus bill in which we seek to make exceptions to the immigration laws of the United States. While the humanities in connection with 15 people may be a fine thing. the humanities concerned with 120.000.000 other people who are citizens are even more important.
