It was put in here. no point of order made against it. without a member of the minority having an opportunity to consider it. without a report from the committee. Attempting to help you pass your own mistakes at the closing hour of this day. at the end of an appropriation bill. I hope that you will at least pass legislation that will stand the test of the court. that will prevent an onslaught of Chinese immigration from rolling in on the Pacific coast. but there is no way for us to tell. There is no opportunity for Ls to know what you have got in the bill that you brought in and have given us hardly an hour to consider. But as you have brought this legislation into this House and propose to legislate against undue and improper immigration coming into this country. I have an amendment. Mr. Chairman. that I desire to offer. an amendment that has once passed this House. an amendment that -was considered on the last general immigration bill. anchmendment that the great masses of the people of this United States are desirous shall be passed. You seek to stop the tide of undesirable immigration that is pouring in from the Orient. This amendment will attempt to stop the same kind of immigration which is pouring in on the Atlantic coast and flooding this country with improper immigration. It is an amendment which has been indorsed by the laboring people of this country it is an amendment that every American. citizen that believes in holding up the American standard of life and the American standard of living and American ideas favors. I do not think it is subject to the point of order.
