If it has been broken up in the great city of Chicago. surely it can be broken up by state laws in all other sections. That is what Sims says. The Commissioner of Immigration says: FortunatelyThey are talking of something that they know aboutFortunately. the first case brought into court to test its scope was carried up to the Supreme Court. and the decision sustained the Governments contention in Its broadest and most liberal manner. There. they have all the law they want. And again the Commission of Immigration has commended the law. commended it in the strongest terms. Why should Congress engage in a doubtful matter of this kind when we have a law sufficient. and the immigration laws. I contend. are efficient. and they are being enforced. The only suggestion I have to make in connection with that is the report recently made by Mr. Williams. who has just gone into office as commissioner of immigration in New York. that sometimes 5.000 people are examined in one day and 70 per cent are passed. that they have only two minutes to examine. and 38 questions are propounded to them. Notwithstanding all that. the evil has decreased. It is going out gradually . and yet Congress under these circumstances is invited to commit itself in approval of a precedent that has never been set before in this country.
