But a very dangerous action has developed in the other body. Dozens of amendments have been proposed to the bill H. R. 6888. and each of them tries to emulate the other one in an attempt to wreck our quota system. It is impossible to state with any degree of accuracy at this time how many more immigrants would be permitted to come to the United States under the amendments piled up in the other body. It is unthinkable that the House would go along with a policy designed to pile up unskilled immigrants on top of unemployed workers walking the streets of our congested urban centers. I am certain that my colleagues in the House who are familiar with the situation in their districts. as I am with the situation in my district and State. would join me in rejecting the amendments providing for a numerical increase in the total immigration to this country.
