I understand that the objection to it upon the part of the gentleman from Washington is that it is one of the clecks they have upon the admission of undesirables to the United States. It is not the desire of this committee or any.one in the Congress. I understand. to take away any possible check upon that proposition. and I do not believe that this has anything to do with that. For instance. if an immigrant comes to this country under some assumed name and then applies for citizenShilp papers and an investigation is had through the port where he lands and they never find any such person as that there. this requirement souglt to he eliminated would be of no use so far as identity is concerned.
