I think the point is well made. but the agreements to which the able Senator refers have become law under vote of a majority of the Congress. I hope a mistake will not be made. and I hope the Senate will not agree to put into effect a constitution which arose out of and was based upon the principles and expressions contained in this report signed by the representatives of the United States. I proceed: in order to help in intranational and international migration where these are feasible. (III) Transportation. communication. housing. sanitation. health. and other public facilities necessary to effective settlement should be provided by the country receiving the migrants. Mr. President. what country will be paying for the transportation. the communication. the housing. the sanitation. and the health and other public facilities? It will be the United States of America. because this is the only country to which people wish to come. Are we going to place ourselves in the position of endorsing at this time a plan to -foster migration to the United States for agricultural purposes. and to pay for the transportation? It is to be paid for by the country receiving the migrants. (IV) Steps should be taken to provide for the economic security of the migrants. We are not only going to bring them into this countryand there is no limit placed upon the number. thousands are to be brought here for agricultural purposes. and we are to pay their way herebut in addition we are to take steps to assure to them economic security in America. Oh. the argument is made. "No. this is not written into the constitution to which we are asked to subscribe today." Of course it is not.
