A few years ago the new -King of Denmark pardoned 700 criminals. degenerates. swindlers. thieves. and murderers. The people of Denmark did not want these criminals to remain In their country. so they made up money and purchased tickets for every one of them. placed them on board a steamship and sent them to New York. Representative BURNETT. while In Sicily investigating the immigration question asked. "Where are the bandits who gave you so much trouble a little While ago?" And the answer was. "They have all gone to America." Think of that. Mr. Speaker. no longer the asylumfor the oppressed. no longer the promised land of the worthy. but a place to Which foreign countries may send their undesirable people. aplace on Which the steamship companies unload more than a million people every year: Time was when the industrious and worthy foreigner who wanted to come to our country went to work. secured funds. and paid for his own transportation.
