Mir. Speaker. Ihad some correspondence with the New York board of immigration on this subject. Members of that board wrote me in regard to this very question. and said that if we would make this change they were confidentthey could carry out the law. and this suggestion in the first place came from that board. They have there an organized board. and the present law which prohibits the landing of these other classes of persons. criminals and paupers. is word for word and letter for letter this law. This bill simply extends the scope of the existing law in regard to paupers and criminals so as to include the other class of persons which the law passed by last Congress provided should not be allowed to come into this country.
