Now he brings in this ridiculous resolution. I have seen a great many ridiculous things presented to Congress since I have been a Member of this House. but I believe this takes the cake. I was here and went through the fight In 1924 to pass the immigratiun law. that we had better keep intact now without tampering with it at all. But when I saw this resolution and heard the gentleman from Georgia refer to It. and found this word "demographic." and found that it referred to birth control. -and mortality.- and probably to all the other social functions that are supposed to be handled by other agencies of the Government. I wondered just how far astray the Committee on Immigration would go if we turned it over to the Member from New York with all the powers provided in this resolution. Just refer to the first "Resolved" on page 2. and you will find there Is not enough money in the Federal Treasury to finance such a program if he desired to carry it to its ultimatum. In addition. I looked up this word "ambivalent." I thought probably that was one of these old words that had something to do with the crossing of the Red Sea. but one of my betterinformed colleagues looked it up in the dictionary and found that it means "expressing love and hatred at the same time for the same person. especially for a motherinlaw." Are we going to continue to waste money and create committees like this and send them out over the country. and probably into foreign countries. to meddle with a law that ought to be guarded as closely as the ark of the covenant? I am not in favor of it. The Member the gentleman from New York has never been in favor of enforcing our immigration laws at all. I am opposed to this resolution. and I hope the House will vote it down.
