Speaker. that the sections of the bill to which I have made but brief and general reference refute these statements and disarm this adverse criticism. But these sections constitute only a part of this measure. In some instances officers of the Immigration Bureau have taken the responsibility of accepting bonds that an alien immigrant should not become a public charge. This action. if continued. may lead to abuse. and the measure under consideration makes provision that hereafter no such bonds shall be received except with the written approval of the Secretary of the Treasury. I shall not attempt to discuss the other sections of the proposed act.
