They expect me to come here and stand for sound legislation which will be for their best interests. Now. to get back to this amendment proposed by the gentlemau from New York. This amendment proposes that as one of the classes that shall not be counted in the 3 per cent there shall be the following: Aliens who are fugitives or refugees for political reasons. And then he follows it with this rather ambiguous provision : Provided nothing in this act shall exclude it otherwise admissible persons convicted or who admit the commission. or who seek or advocate the commission. of an offense purely political. The gentleman took that from the old- immigration law.
