Mr. President. the simple reading of this amendment shows how vast is its range. and we are asked to vote for it now. not only without any time to examine fully into the provisions and extent and scope of the amendment. but without any information from the Immigration Bureau which would tend to show that this measure is at all practicable or feasible. If it passes. it would amount. Mr. Presidentone can see from reading it. so immense. so vast is its range--to a practical absorption or confiscation for this purpose of the entire immigrant fund. Of course. it must be conjecture as to what so vast a scheme. when it is put in operation. will cost. but nobody can deny that with all of its provisions. the extensive things required. the gathering of statistics in almost every form. the money it will cost will be something immense. What I should desire. and what I think the Senate ought to be satisfied with. is the provision as left by the amendment offered by the Senator from New Hampshire.
