Speech #530144406

I notice that the Senator proposes to exact the payment of $50 upon every immigrant coming into the United States. As the Senator is to speak upon the amendment which he has proposed. I wish to ask him in the first plac6 whether he proposes to impose $50 tax or head money upon every foreigner who sets foot upon our soil. whether he comes to stay or whether he comes as a visitor. or to impose the tax only upon persons who come to remain with us and eventually to become citizens. If he proooses to impose the tax only upon persons who come to stay. will he kindly inform the Senate how he proposes to discriminate between those who come tostay and those who come only for a temporary sojourn.
