President. I merely wish to say a word in explanation of what I said in regard to the steamship companies. Their business is to make money. and the more immigrants they.can bring the more money they can make. Therefore. unless they are regulated by law. they will bring any kind of an immigrant into this country. It is human nature. I am not blaming them for it. The same is true of the railroads. They do not look to see what the effect of this immigration will be on the country. They are engaged in making money by the transportation of human beings as well as of freight. Our first purposeand that is the main purpose of this proposed lawis to keep out the diseased. the criminal. the insane. and the imbecile.
