This. to my mind. proves that our -medical examination is sufficient for all practical purposes. Where we fall down is on our inability to detect whether a man is coming in under contract or -whether a man is likely to become a public charge. We all know that aliens likely to become paupers are admitted every day. but how is an inspector to determine with any degree of certainty whether a wellschooled immigrant with $50 in his pocket is likely to become a public charge or not? Like as not he is a rascal in the old country to whom $50 riddance money and a ticket has been given.
Identified stereotypes
Immigrants are likely to become public charges and may be rascals from their home country.
