You are simply bringing into this country a horde of people who will immediately upon coming here identify themselves with those who are creating so much disturbance and causing so much trouble at the present time. You augment the group that comes down here occasionally under the false belief that they are highpressuring Congress in passing legislation. I have been in some of these camps. and I say -to you that while there are undoubtedly many who would be acceptable and suitable as immigrants to this country as a whole. these camps are hotbeds of revolutionists who. if they came here. would join those who now are gnawing away night and day like termites at the foundation of our constitutional government. You are simply aggravating the trouble that. is already on our hands. I am prepared to concede that the Fellows bill is very much of an improvement over bills that have heretofore been insisted upon. but even the Fellows bill promises no solution of the problem.
