It is presumed that he is selfsustaining This requires an affirmative finding. There is that distinction. There is the.further distinction that under the law as it.is framed in this bill an immigrant would be held to be. not selfsustaining. possibly. who might- be.permitted to come in under this measure. - To illustrate. suppose an immigrant wer. to come here destitute--without any money.. He would be turned back as .a pauper under our present law.. but under this bill if the Conimissioner General of Immigration should .find .that a society br organization was going to receive him. going to. provide him With work. or going to put him on 01e of these. farms that the Senator said. some society contemplated arranging for. then the Commissioner General of Immigration would be warranted in finding that the man would not become a public charge. So I think there is a.very considerable difference beteeni this amendment and the other one.
