Today we are going to set all of that aside and allow them to stay here and become citizens if the bill passes. If we agree to this amendment. it will only change the bill so that they cannot become citizens. What will be the next bill that the Immigration Committee will bring in? In 2 or 3 months it will bring in a bill giving these persons the right to become citizens. That is the natural outgrowth of such things. Mr. Speaker. I call upon those Members who are restrictionists. those Members who have helped build up the restrictive immigration laws of this country to speak and vote their convictions and say what they have in their minds and what they think ought to be done. We are pulling up an anchorage we have adhered to from the very foundation of our country. We are sitting Idly by and permitting a bill of this kind to be brought in and passed.
