That will make their coming lawful. Any condition as to their remaining. after they have been lawfully brought in. it is competent for us to provide. We propose to provide as a conditionthat is. the Senator does who has offered this amendment. if I correctly understand itthat they shall be brought under certain terms and conditions that will prevent their becoming a charge on that community. and under certain terms and conditions that prescribe what their employment shall be while they are there. namely. that they shall be brought and brought only to work as laborers on sugar plantations and farms where they are needed. and the language of this amendment. as I understand it. is that if after having been so brought they desert their employment or refuse to pursue it they may be deported. It is not necessary to go into detail in this legislation as to how they shall be deported. because deportation is something with which we are familiar. we already have machinery for that purpose. It is a machinery that operates only when a Chinaman is found who is unlawfully here. as the Senator from Massachusetts suggests. But the Chinaman who comes here lawfully on the condition that he will pursue while here a particular vocation and then refuses to pursue it. will be here. after condition broken. unlawfully just as much as though he had come unlawfully in the first place. Then deportation will apply to him. if we so enact. the same as to any other Chinaman unlawfully found here.
