It is known to be a factnot susceptible of proof. however.. I guessthat quite a large number of mentally defective persons are shipped into this country. They are rather encouraged to emigrate from other countries. and New York and other seaboard States receive quite a number of such immigrants whom they soon have to place in insane asylums and take care of for the remainder of their lives. There are some States so unkindly as to ship their insane persons into adjoining States. and we have passed laws in Oregon putting a stop to that. It has become a great burden. If there is any doubt that this bill will exclude that class of immigrants. the words under discussion should be left in the bill. Why do you strike out the words that specifically exclude mentally defective persons if you are trying to exclude them?
