Chairman. *and. as long as we have not done so. I ask if it is right. if it is just. and if it is humane not to allow those that do come at least ordinarily comfortable quarters in which to land when they reach our shores? As I have said. it is not germane to this discussion whether immigration ought to be curtailed or restricted. or whether it ought to be encouraged and enlarged. but the question is. from the examination I have made of that station. Is it comfortable and commensurate with the influx that is coming in under the law as it now stands? And. for my part. although I was not present when the bill was considered before the committee. I shall vote in favor of the bill for the new station. At some future time I will more fully discuss the question of whether immigration should not be restricted and many of the undesirables from Mediterranean shores be shut out.
