Mfr. Chairman. If this amendment is adopted. the few contract laborers whom we catch now will escape in the future. I wish I could picture to you the manner in which the examination of arriving immigrants is carried on. They come up in long lines to the inspectors. after they have passed the surgeons. Groups of the same nationality stream along. Often it is thought that padrones are scattered throughout the groups. This first examination i& entirely public. It is seldom that you would find anyone in such groups as these who was not thoroughly coached on all the answers which he ought to make to the questions of the Inspector.
Identified stereotypes
Immigrants are coached on how to answer questions.
