This article will apply to any alien that lands on the shores of America who desires to enter the United *States. whether temporarily or. permanently. He should not be a criminal. he should not be a plotter. an anarchist. a Bolshevist. and his health should be good. He should not be permitted to bring into this country contagious disease which in the Old World. because of starvation. is now sweeping away tens of thousands. sending them to their graves. We should not permit them to enter who are diseased. and if you want to make the immigration bill effective. then put the safeguards around the health of your people. put safeguards round the ideals that they seek. and only a few words added to this bill will bring about what one of the best immigration officials says will assist him in doing effective work at Ellis Island.
