Senators will notice that the original House bill. section 7. provides that any Chinese person coming here contrary to law "shall be imprisoned in a penitentiary for a term of not exceeding five years. and at the expiration of such term of imprisonment be removed from the Unted States to the country whence he came. The Senate provision is only for imprisoning a Chinaman unlawfully coming here on a second conviction. It has been already developed in this debate that the deportation of Chinamen who come here unlawfully. without imprisoning them. does not deer them from coming. Now. this is merely a question of adequate penalty. We pass this proposed law. We exclude these Chinamen. and they know they have no right to come here. If they come here there ought to be an adequate penalty to punish them for coming. The penalty of deportation is not sufficient. for our experience has shown that they come here just the same. If they come across the border and are sent back across the border they come again. The universal judgment.
