Before I sit down. Mr. Chairman. let me say this: Most all of the immigrants who have come to this country have come in pursuance of such advertisements describing this country as a desirable place of residence and specifying the probability of obtainlug profitable employment. If you adopt this section in these general terms. without limitation. you will practically say that hereafter no immigrant shall come to this country without rendering himself amenable to this law. unless he comes solely because he is driven from a foreign country by reason of oppression. That would be the only class of persous permitted to come. and I think the amendment that I have suggested ought to be adopted. so as to prohibit any such construction of the law.
