Mr. Chairman and gentlemen. in support of my statement to the Members of the House. I want to call your attention to section 18 of the immigration act of February 5. 1917. which says: That all aliens brought to this country in violation of law shall be innediatcly sent back in accommodations of the same class as those in which they arrivedAnd it thbn goes on to provide that the steamship companies shall pay all expenses. The Commissioner of Immigration and his assistants all concede that the steamship companies must pay the expenses of these people while in the United States if they are brought here unlawfully.
