Mr. President. I am of the opinion that the situation as regards immigration requires that more stringent laws should be passed against the Chinese. and I am particularly desirous of saving the seventh section of the House bill. which is as follows: SEC. 7. That any Chinese person. or persons of Chinese descent. entering the United States or any of its Territories by crossing its boundary lines or entering therein in any other manner whatever contrary to theprovisions of this act. or found unlawfully in the United States or its Territories. may be arrested upon a warrant issued upon a complaint under oath filed by any party on behalf of the United States. by any Jnstice. judge. or commissioner of any United States court. or before any United States court. and when convicted. upon a hearing. and found and adjudged to be one not lawfully entitled to be or remain in the United States. such person shall be imprisoned in a penitentiary for a term not exceeding five years and at the expiration of such term of imprisonment be removed from the United States to the country from whence he came: P~rovided. That when Chinese persons found unlawfully in the United States shall have come into the United States from China by way of contiguous foreign territory they shall be returned to China.
