Mr. Speaker. there is no doubt that under the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations Congress can concern itself with the transportation of passengers as well as commodities. and that the power exists to prohibit immigration as well as to regulate the entry of persons into this country and the terms upon which the citizens of foreign countries may come here. In view of the motives with which laborers from foreign countries have been brought here and the restraints under which they have been imported. in view of the fact that when introduced into this country they are worked at the will of corporations " like dumb. driven cattle." there can be no doubt that such importation is a proslitution of American citizenship and. I think all must agree. a great evil.
