I will yield to the gentleman from Massachusetts after I shall have concluded with the gentleman from Illinois . I would prefer that this amendment be not made now. and that the bill be not incumbered with it. The argument of the gentleman from Texas is not a good one. from the fact that these people are now required to come in at the ports of entry that are established all along the Canadian border line and the Mexican border. and the immi. grants have to be examined at those ports of entry. and for that reason it would be no greater hardship to examine them as to their sanity than to examine them as to any other question. as. for example. the question of head tax. If they have lived in Canada for a certain length of time. they have had to pay a head tax on coming from other countries. I think that the argument of the gentleman from Texas is not a good one. However.
