Nebr.. September 2123. 1943. That all immigration be barred from the United States from the date of the end of hostilities of the present war until unemployment has dropped to less than 1.000.000. You will note. therefore. that my amendment. in line with the position of the American Legion. undertakes to stop all quota immigration from the end of hostilities of the present war until the number of unemployed persons. including United States war veterans. is less than 1.000.000. You will note that the figure. 1.000.000. was the same as included in the American Legion resolution. I am informed by those irn a position to know that this amendment. if carried. would amount to a ban on all immigration. I have made my fight throughout the years to -protect the American worker and the American veteran from the influx of aliens. This is the objective of the American Legion. and it is where I stand. I wish to remark. also. in passing that the Veterans of Foreign Wars have passed a strong resolution on the question of immigration at its national encampment in New York city a few days ago and I shall obtain leave and make a letter from the V. F. W. a part of my remarks.
