Let us see if it is. If it is an imaginary objection. then the bill is an imaginary thing. Why. if the gentleman is right. and nobody is to be examined who is coming here simply as a visitor. all that would be necessary for an emigrant who desired to avoid the effects of this bill would be to walk aboard a ship and say. "I am not an emigrant. I am going on a tour or visit." I simply point out this objection to show how frivolous the bill is and how futile it would be to attempt to execute it. We can not afford to pass a bill that does not apply to every citizen of a country alike.
