President. still further as to this matter of the separation of families. I want to call the attention of the Senate to this practical consideration. Last year over 75.000 people who admitted they could not read and write came into the United States. Does anyone suppose for one moment that the steamship companies. charitable organizations as we know they are. are going to bring 75.000 illiterate immigrants to this country for the pleasure of having it discovered at Ellis Island that they are .illiterate. and then taking them back again? Anyone who has studied this question of immigration. Mr. President. knows that this law will be enforced on the other side.
