It Is not proposed. as I understand. by anyone that an examiner at the point of embarkation should certify. I do not understand that that is the case. The purpose of having examiners there is to prevent. so far as possible. the immigrants from starting. We should say to the steamship companies: "These people are obnoxious to the law. and.you ought not to take them." That saves the infliction of a hardship on the immigrant. and the steamship company then takes them at its own obvious risk. Mr. President. it is an additional precaution to have the Inspection officers over \there. but I would not give them the power to certify any immigrant. for the reason stated by the Senator from South Carolina . but would simply provide them as a means of increasing the inspection and prevejpting the bringing in of undesirable people. It might as well be understood. Mr. President. that the steamship companies will bring in here just as many people and just as bad people. without reference to anything but their own pockets. as the law will permit. They do not want to stop immigration. They will bring anything that the law will let them bring. and we are dedling with that situation.
