There may have been a scrutiny of nahes where there was doubt about the national origin of a person. but I repeat. Mr. President. that there has been a fight from the beginning to break down the national origins principle. Back of it is a fight to break down the immigration barriers. As a corollary to that unusual doctrineI will not say it is unAmericanwe hear the strange theory that somehow people outside this Nation have a right to say what our immigration laws shall be. Some of my ancestors came from abroad. I have the greatest respect for our citizens who have come from foreign lands.
