Congress has certainly done its part in enforcing the Chineseexclusion act. Ever since I have been a Member of Congress there has been an annual appropriation of $500.000 for this purpose. One would think that was enough to exclude every Chinaman that sought to come here or to deport those who by chance eluded the vigilance of the immigration officials and illegally got into this country. Yet I am bound to say that unless there is a change In the method of executing this law. the Chineseexclusion law In the near future will come to be a dead letter. By 31.43 the report of the CommissionerGeneral of Immigration for the last year there has been an increase in Chihamen admitted into this country of over 38 per cent. Those of us who know anything about this subject I think will agree that every one of these additidnal entries is fraudulent. and more than 00 per cent of all the Chinamen who are admitted through the immigration office are admitted fraudulently and are not entitled to be in this country at all. Even this would not be so alarming if it were not for the fact that wholesale smuggling is going on all along the Mexican and Canadian borders and in many places along the Pacific coast. There has lately been some effort to stop this smuggling and to punish the smugglers.
