I think he did more than any 2 or 3 of us in Congress. In the Hawaiians there is such an intermingling of blood and races and nationalities that it is often impossible to decide to what jurisdiction or country or quota a man or woman or child belongs from the standpoint of his race and his ancestry. So the immigration or property or personal rights of hundreds of them have to be handled by private bills to get equity and justice. JOE. I think. introduced far more of these bills and carried them through to successful passage than anybody that has ever been in the Congress. He sometimes said. "They may think I am going overboard for Asians and peoples of other color. but it is because they are human beings who have no other recourse. Here are persons who have no chance to get their prized American citizenship or their immigration status clarified unless I put in the bills and get them through the Congress." He was selfless. I suppose the final test of any mans patriotism is his willingness to give his life for his country JOE FARRINGTON never left the field of battle. although he was mortally wounded. Thrice stricken down to my knowledge. he continued to fight.
