Speech #670216599

I will yield to the Senator in just a imoment. They were landed there through the instrumentality of (ie steamuship comapanies. encouraged by temm. and tile quota that slould have come was gradually increased because of time activities and influences of time steamiship companies. Under the present law no penalty can be imposed upom tie comipanies. and time Commissioner of Immigration has suggested that the lmv should ie amended so as to impose a penalty of $200 o every steamisiip commpany that brings an alien to this country from a country whose quota has been exhausted and to compel the steamiship company to pay back to that alien the expenses incurred in coming here upon a fruitless mission. Is not that finportant? The Commissioner of Immigration says it is. We il know the stemiship companies should be Punished when they vioiate the regulations. and so I have proposed in my substitute in amendment carrying out that idea. Now I yield to liheSenator front Massachusetts.
