I do not know that I can make it any more clear than the language of the bill itself. Tile clause. I may say. was drawn with great care. was submitted to the officers having this matter in charge. was taken to the Department of Justice. submitted to the Assistant AttorneyGeneral. who has charge of all the litigation growing out of immigration cases. and it was under his advice and with his aid. in order *that no injustice might be done to any. that the language was adopted which has been incorporated in the report. I do not think that the fear expressed by the writer of the letter from whom the Senator has read is any longer entertained by those representing that class. They objected to the language of the House bill. but. so far as I know. they do not lave the same objection to the language of the Senate bill. which was adopted by the conferees. I ought to say further. inasmuch as the writer of the letter which the Senator from Missouri has read supposes that there was an arbitrary examination at the port of embarkation. that such is not the case. The examination of the immigrant is made after lie reaches our own shores and at our own station.
