Yes. Under the bill as -now drawn. the railroads can continue to do as they do now and bring them in from Mexico if otherwise admissible. I want to know what is the objection to admitting farm labor from any country in the world. if otherwise admissible. under such rules and regulations as the Commissioner of Immigration and the Secretary of Labor may prescribe. and I want to offer a substitute for pending amendments which would have the effect of admitting laborers under this section for six months. if otherwise admissible under the law. except from oriental countries. I will ask the Clerk to report my amendment.
