The change of language in the first section of the bill. by which for the word "passenger" were substituted the words "alien immigrant." makes the exceptions unnecessary. The exceptions were necessary when the word "passenger" was there. They are not necessary now. and if continued they would involve us in trouble in regard to the favorednation clause. I move. therefore. to strike out. beginning in line 4. page 1. the words: not a citizen of the Dominion of Canada. the Republic of Cuba. or of the Republic of Mexico. or a bona fide resident of the said Dominion or Republics for one year continuously prior to application for admission.
