Will the Senator say how he would further restrict the importation of labor than it is now restricted? We have a law which prohibits the making of contracts with persons in a foreigncountry tobe performed by service in thiscountrythe alien contractlabor law. We have a law which prevents any criminals. paupers. or diseased persons from coming to our shores. and there are further restrictions which I can not now name. I presume that the Senator would not adopt an immigration law which said that no Irishman. no German. no Frenchman. no Scandanavian should come to this countrv. What would he propose further than our laws now provide in the way of restriction?
