But there have been differences of opinion as to how the end desired was to be accomplished. The bill that is before us is an unsound and illogical measure. Nevertheless. it has been pushed through. with all its unsoundness and with all its lack of logic. simply because there is an earnest desire to accomplish the end of limiting improper immigration to the United States. We are acting upon this measure much In the same spirit that men might act if they were obliged to accept this particular bill or obtain nothing. whereas we have the absolute power at any time to pass such a bill which will bring the desired result and yet be free from the faults which impair the present measure.
