That should be the test. So many Italians and Greeks despite America being born in them are kept out. But this immigration bill which was passed by this House and vetoed by the President. flies in the face of that theory of Americanism. Those who sponsored this bill. and many members of the House. are forgetful that we built our great country because we siphoned off the best of the brain and the best of the brawn of all peoples of Europe everywherenot from just a few countries but from all countries of Europe--as a result of which we have the highest standards of living that civilization has ever seen. But this bill again flies in the face of all that.
