It was said aliens from the countries at war will flood our borders after the war. We can stop that. and we should stop it. Further restriction of immigrants should be our goal rather than letting down the bars. Let the Committee on Immigration. of which the gentleman from New York is chairman. first bring in the necessary legislation to meet some of the evils complained of or conditions that might face us in the future and then speak of investigations after those laws are passed. I would also suggest to the gentleman from New York to start an investigation now under the rules. as his committee has the power. Get testimony from the Government departments. and then if it is developed he has a case. press the resolution for a general investigation. Above all. I say to the gentleman from New York. as well as any other Member who has information of violations of our immigration laws. give it to the F. B. I. and that organization will apprehend the guilty.
