It Is doubtless these who enter outside the quota of 153.929 who are the ones that give us trouble and stay here without legal right to do so. I urge that the Eightieth Congress proceed to ascertain the whole situation with respect to those who are validly here and those who live here against the laws we have set up for the protection of this country. Certainly no move should be made toward changing our immigration laws until these facts have been clearly ascertained and the true picture made known to the American people. Suffice it to say that there are among us many more from other countries than it was intended should be admitted under our laws. This whole subject should be approached in a fair. sound. and practical way. with the welfare of this Nation and our people as the primary guiding principle in any step that is taken on the subject.
