The gentleman is. mistaken as to my position. I contend for the keeping out of those who teach . the unlawful destruction of property. I had a great deal to do with putting that clause in the bill. and I want it to stand. I do not think a man who comes in from a foreign country and teaches the destruction of property -in the United States should be permitted to remain. but the trouble here is that a Secretary of Labor. be he Republican. Democrat. or Socialist. might be prejudiced upon this subject of immigration and a man who is seized and charged by somebody with having thus taught is at once at the mercy of an officer who may be prejudiced.
