Speaker. our preselt law is sufficient for our present needs. Vigorously enforced it will be amply protective under existing conditions. Under our present laws we exclude all idiots. imbeciles. feebleminded persons. epileptics insane persons. and persons who have been insane within five years previous or had two or more attacks of insanity. paupers and persons likely to become a public charge. professional beggars. persons afflicted with tuberculosis or with a loathsome or dangerous contagious disease. persons mentally or physically defective.. persons convicted of or who admit committing a crime. polygamists. anarchists. prostitutes or those coning for the purpose of prostitution or any. other immoral purpose. procurers. contract laborers. those previously deported within one year. those whose passage is paid for by another for gain or as wages. all children of 16 years unaccompanied by one or both of their parents. This list does not embrace all of the excluded classes. but it gives a fair idea of our present law. Our exclusionary list was not made up by theorists.
