There is a question that occurs to me that you are leaving out in this bill the character of citizenship that should be allowed to come in with the same clai of justice as these people now have. I refer to those that did not file their suits under the act of 1891. They were on the same footing as the people you let in. except that they knew they were noncitizens and knew that the law at that time did not allow them to come in. When you enact this law you allow any man to come in who violated the statute. Now. will not these people who did not come in come here next year and say that they have the same right to have their claims adjusted. and will you not have a bill come in for these people next year as you have for these people this year?
