Speech #760242343

I thank the Senator immensely for the inquiry. but I am distressed to have to disagree with him. for the reason that we have enacted about one onehundredth as much legislation in reference to subversive activities. "fifth columns." limitation of immigration. and deportation of alien criminals as we should have enacted. or at least as I would have enacted had I a lone hand in bringing about the enactment of such laws. For instance. let me say to the Senator that I have pending a bill which would stop all immigration into this country for the next 10 years. until such time as every American citizen who is employable has been employed. I insist upon the enactment of that bill for the benefit of American laboring men. 11.000.000 of whom are out of work at this time. 25.000.000 of whom are working only part time. 2.700.000 of whom are on W. P.
