He stated that the French Republic had permitted Communists and others of that ilk and type to come from Russia and Spain into France. and that they had brought about tremendous destruction within the confines of the French Republic. That is why I have harped upon the theme of stopping. at least for the time being. all lmmgration into this country because. as I have stated heretofore. I am told that 1 out of every 25 or certainly 1 out of every 50 refugees who come to this country is a Nazi or a Communist agent. and I think it high time that we in the Congress give some attention to that matter. which is of vital importance to the American Republic at this hour. I have before me an article which. to my mind. is distressing. insofar as the American laboring man. in whom we profess so much interest. is concerned. Weekly there are coming to this country hundreds of refugees. I feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for all people who are persecuted. but my first sympathies are with the people of the United States of America. and. insofar as I am concerned. I want now to stop the influx of immigrants and refugees into our country. If safety is that which they seek. then. let them seek it in some part of the world other than the United States of America. At this time. in conjunction with this particular theme.
