I desire to ask the Senator whether he did not give as his reason for retaining in that section of the bill the very language referred to the fact that the location of these people and the intimate commercial and business relationship existing between those people and ours absolutely demanded that they be excepted from this $3 head tax? It is stated in the report that it would cause serious business complications to place this head tax upon those immigrants. Now. we have no objection to the people of Canada coming into this country. and in view of the close business relationship existing between those countries and this country. in my opinion the adoption of this amendment will cause serious business troubles between the people of Mexico and Cuba and Canada and the people of the United States. and in my opinion the logic and reasoning of the Senator was good in the report which he originally made to the Senate.
