The oldline Americans who send me to Congress do not expect me to transfer the right somewhere else to say who is to become citizens of the United States. Continuing the quotation: They do not want us to permit the unloading upon this country of the riffraff of the Old World. while our young men are fighting to save America for Americans. As the bills in question were mostly naturalization matters which in no way affected our basic immigration policythe gentleman clearly showed that he did not even bother to read the bills or the reports thereon. He was not interested in the merits of the billshe just objected to themto all of themwithout even bothering to wait until they were actually called up for consideration. How can anybody call that just and fair consideration of legislation?
