Speech #760201766

Mr. President. yesterday I very briefly discussed the pending issue. after which I took occasion to mention the subject of immigration as it relates particularly to our sister republics to the South. From that subject I took advantage of the opportunity of drifting into a discussion of the general subject of immigration. about which too little has been said. and concerning which not enough has been printed. This afternoon. after briefly discussing the pending issue and bringing particularly to the attention of the Members of this body some very pertinent editorials with regard to that most interesting subject. I shall again discuss in particular immigration into the United States from Mexico. and likewise the question of immigration into the United States from the countries of Central and South America. after which it will be my pleasure to discuss generally the subject of immigration--concerning which. as I have said. too little has been said. and not enough has been printedon account of the great interest now being evidenced by the American public in reference thereto. I have observed with much gratification that a number of leading daily publications of my State of North Carolina have commented very favorably upon the position taken by my distinguished colleague. the senior Senator from Delaware [Mr. TowNsEN].
