Mr. President. that this amendment ought to be defeated. If the Senate then comes to the main question according as they believe that restriction. of immigration is necessary or unnecessary. whether. by the result of investigation or otherwise. this is the best method of restriction or not. they should determine whether to leave the clause in the bill or to take it out. If it Is to stay in the bill. it ought to stay there in substantially the form in which it is now there. If it is to be taken out. it had better be taken out altogether than to put in an amendment of this kind. which can only lead to all sorts of complications. which would create a law that would fall unequally. which could never be justly enforced. and which would give to some. at least. of the undesirable forms of immigration a chance to come in while it excluded some of the desirable forms which we want to admit. This is all. Mr.
