Chairman. as the gentleman who preceded me said. whenever a country has an economic problem its legislators are unable to solve. they look for a whipping boy. Today the scapegoat is a minority of voiceless persons who desire to become citizens of this country. as our ancestors did. If there had not been some Immigrants admitted from time to time to this great Nation of ours. none of us would be here today to speak or act on the law. I do not like the implication made by the gentleman from Alabama that those who oppose this amendment come from districts in which the original stock is or was largely foreign. May I say that I represent that kind of a district. and it happens to be the most lawabiding district and city in the United States.
