Now. I have only this objection to make to the Senators amendment. It says that the immigration laws shall be rigidly administered so far as a certain class of immigrants are concerned. which class he names. I think the immigration laws of the United States should be rigidly administered as to every class to which they apply. and I do not think we should say by legislation that the immigration laws shall be rigidly administered as to a particular class. because we thereby impliedly say that we do not expect them to be rigidly administered as to other classes. I do not think. Mr. President. there is any necessity for the amendment. because we enact laws upon the theory that they will be faithfully administered. that they will be rigidly administered. if you please. and that they will be faithfully and rigidly administered as to every class of people to whom they may apply. whether those laws be immigration. laws or laws of some other character. I do not think there is any necessity for it for that reason. Now.
