It Is difficult for me to believe that the full effect of this feature of the bill was realized when it was framed and adopted. and it is impossible for me to assent to it in the form in which It Is here cast. Mr. President. Garibaldi. Kossuth. Gen. Franz Sigel. and Carl Schurz would never have been admitted into this country with that provision in the law. and if this provision be incorporated in our immigration laws you will deny admission Into this country of any man who from purely political and patriotic motives raises Iis hand against tyranny and oppression in any government.
