I have not appealed to the Department to violate any law in behalf of anyone and never expect to. However. I do make the statement I want the right to have the Department of Labor tell me how I can get a good. decent immigrant. who will make a respectable citizen. into this country. and I do not want any committee of this House to deprive me or other Members of that right. That is what this amendment will do. and that is why it should be defeated. It is time we stopped chasing bogeymen and got down to business. legislating for the economic needs of 130.000.000 Americans and not waste the taxpayers time and money arguing such a picayune proposition as contained in this proposed amendment.
