The lost battalion and its great record is a refutation of the statement of my friend from Kentucky. Mr. Chairman. this bill humanizes the immigration law. It eliminates the criminal. the chronic offender. from our body politic. On the other hand. it retains the best that have come from Europe in order to be assimilated in our midst. It will eliminate the evils. the tragedy. the hardship of the disintegration of the American home. The home is the foundation upon which the superstructure of our civilization and Government must rest. My good friend from Kentucky quoted the Bible regarding immigration. Let me answer him by referring to the Biblical dogma that whom God has united in marriage. let no Congressman tear asunder to destroy their home. We are all immigrants. Only the Indians are native Americans. Immigrants and descendants of immigrants have built this country to be the greatest. the most prosperous. and the most wonderful Nation on the face of the globe. We all love our Republic. We are willing to work for it in peacetime and ready to die for it in times of war to preserve our institutions.
