The present law admits Canadians and Mexicans and so forth without the payment of a head tax. and so would the amendment proposed by Mr. BENNET. Mr. Chairman. the gentleman is asking me whether my amendment to the amendment of the gentleman from New York will restore the condition of affairs under which immigrants from Mexico and Canada. no matter how undesirable. will be admitted free of head tax. The answer is. Yes. it will. The bill as printed and presented to us by the committee does uiot exempt Canadian and Mexican Immigrants from the head tax. but it does exempt Canadian and Mexican visitors from the head tax if they come here for a temporary stay.
