I am speaking of the insane who escape the scrutiny of immigration officials that come into the State. It costs altogether about $9.000.000 a year to take care of the insane in New York. $2.000.000 of which is due to the coming in of insane aliens because of inspection that is not adequate. In the sundry civil bill this year provision has been made for some additional inspectors. who are to be especially qualified to detect mental defectives. and it would be of great value to tho entire country if legislation could be enacted that will prevent the European countries from relieving themselves of the burden of taking care of the mental defectives and placing it on the various States of the Union. I believe that the bill is a very wise one and should be enacted.

The paragraph generalizes that European countries are intentionally sending their mentally ill to the U.S. to avoid the cost of care.
