Mr. Chairman. I desire to submit that under the rules of the House the motion reduces the number of offices and reduces the expenditures provided for in the bill. and offers an amendment to a statute. the subject of immigration. with- which- subject the paragraph to which it is offered deals and which statute is specifically mentioned in the paragraph. The paragraph reads as follows: For division of information established under section 40 of the act approved February 20. 1907. entitled "An act to regulate the immigration of aliens into the United States." namelyThen it recites the officers for the administration of that law. The amendment offered provides in terms that an additional: class of persons other than those mentioned particularly in the act recited in the bill shall be excluded from admission to. the United States. providing in its terms that this exclusion shall. in no way limit or restrict the present prohibited classes as. mentioned in the particular paragraph of the pending appropriation bill to which the amendment is offered. It goes: further and provides and regulates the condition and manner upon which they may be admitted and the condition and manner in which nonadmissible aliens may be deported from the United States. and section 4 of my amendment specifically provides that an alien refused admission to the United States under the provisions of this act shall be sent back to the country whence he came in the manner provided by section 19. of an act to regulate the immigration of aliens into the United States. approved February 20. 1907. and the act of February 20. 1907. is the same act to which the paragraph and the section of the measure to which this amendment is offered relates. Even if it is new legislation it is germane to. the bill as it is legislation. which retrenches expenditures and reduces the number of offices in the Federal Government. It is so clearly a proper amendment to be offered to this bill.
