Citizens of German blood from this country were taken back to Germany. their expenses paid. put through a training school. taught how to destroy factories. disrupt industry. and divide our people. how to bomb railroads. mines. and factories. These are the things I wanted to go into years ago. but the House said: "No. you cannot do it." You remember the morning of the 18th. One of my colleagues who led the fight thought it was a bad thing to do..in fact. when I got on the floor that mornihg a little propaganda was being spread around first this aisle and then that aisle to the effect that this was an immigration bill that would let in a lot of aliens.. How many of us read bills? We are too busy to read all of them. Do you think I can do anything in the Committee on Immigration without the approval of the full committee? Do you think that I or any other member of my committee would do anything that is not for the best interests of this country?
