But we must not today as Congressmen surrender to the woman down in the Department of Labor or the man who may succeed her. or anybody else. our right to determine who should stay here. We ought to lay down a yardstick to guide that individual. We should lay down in exact language just who is entitled to consideration from being deported. Now. we ought not to be misled by the statement that the American Federation of Labor thinks this way or that way about this measure. I speak after having consulted the representatives of the American Federation of Labor. and I am sure this group will be satisfied with what we do if we appreciate the fact they are primarily interested in giving a job to an American as against someone from some other country.
