The appropriation bill for the present year is $3.300.000. the same as the amount asked for in this amendment. A year ago. under the first year of the 3 per cent law. the appropriation was $3.000.000. and a deficiency bill was brought ili for $300.000. The object of this amendment is as follows: Under the 3 per cent law we are excluding many immigrants from our ports. but because of the strict law there are many undesirable inmmigrants coming in from Canada. from Mexico. and they are being smuggled In from Cuba. In my time I would like to have the Clerk read a letter from the Commissioner General of Immigration explaining in a way what confronts his department under the present $3.300.000 appropriation. showing it should not be cut $300.000 as this bill seeks to do.
