That amendment would make the hill entirely vicious. We had better not pass it at all than in the shape the amendment would put it. It would be a practical repeal of the exclusion act. Those who are familiar with the difficulty of keeping Chinese out and their devices to get in would not think of supporting such an amendment. It would be impossible to get Chinamen across the country without doing it. Then. as is suggested to me by the Senator from Maine. there are few cases where they want to pass through the country. In fact. none of them.
