I did not vote against it. Any appropriation that is needed for enforcement of the law I am for. At the same time I believe we should not practice false economy. especially in view of the fact that the moneys that are being collected from these immigrants far exceed the appropriations requested. It is for that reason that I offer this amendment to increase the appropriation by $200.000 to enable. the officials to provide such additional space as is needed for these men and women and children who are obliged to remaih upon this island for two or three days at a time. so that it Will not be charged that we have no feeling whatever for these unfortunates whom we permit to come under our present immigration law. It is for that reason that I offer the amendment. hoping that the amount will be appropriated.
