The gentleman Is again wrong. To begin with. let me make this statement. It is no easy task to serve as a member of the Immigration Committee. It is a difficult assignment. Of course. it is very popular in some sections of the country to try to annihilate the alien because of the fact he is an immigrant. and most of the immigrants are in the heavily populated sections of the country. and. therefore. find themselves without a fri~nd a great many times. and especially so in some sections. Irrespective of the merits of his case. and very few times that is taken into consideration. but it seems to be popular in certain sections of the country for the Representatives to go back and tell their constituents that they helped to send all the foreigners out of the country. but at the same time that is not fair to the alien. After all. we were all aliens to the shores of this country at one time. Certainly all of our forefathers did not come over on the Mayflower. A great many of us are sons of Immigrants. We have all contributed our proportionate share to the wellbeing and the welfare of this Nation. and certainly none of us are over two or three generations removed from the alien class. Now. let us be fair to the alien.
