They contribute nothing to our citizenship and nothing to our national wealth except that which they create. and they carry back their wages with them. .1 called attention to the. figures which. roughly stated. show that about 300.000 each year return to Europe. As. I said before. it would not be fair to say that all of them were of the class named. because some of them undoubtedly returned: :for other causes. The amendment is intended simply to reach that class of .people. not the political refugees who will come here. for the most part. to remain.
