Mr. Chairman. the purpose of this amendment is to make it so that the head tax will be refunded to all aliens who may be deported. The bill. as reported by the Committee on Immigration. provides that in cases of aliens applying for admission from foreign contiguous territory and rejected the head tax collected shall. upon application. be refunded to the alien. Some aliens may know about this provision of the law and be wise enough to apply for the $5 head tax to be refunded. but a good many aliens will not know about the provision. They will not know anything except that they are being examined for admission and rejected. I have asked my colleague why it is that a discrimination of that sort is allowed to continue in this law.
