Speaker. if we could so uplift all of the peoples of the world that they might. too. enjoy the standard of living to which we believe the American people are entitled. However. Mr. Speaker. I. for one. do not believe that this should be attempted at the expense of the American workingman. the American farmer. and the American businessman. Why restrict immigration if we are to open the floodgates of our ports to the produce produced by cheap labor of the Old World? The appalling economic confusion and uncertainty attending this strange legislation makes it perfectly clear that we are being driven in the wrong direction. The Constitution demands that Congress perform the duty of regulating imports and exports.
