The Budget submitted by the President for this next year shows that the total income from the Imnigration Service will be $3.440.000. or $140.000 more than we are asking for in this anmendijent. We simply ask to have the same amount of money for the next year that we have for this. The testimony before the committee shows that 228 men. at an average of $1.440 each. will have to be discharged. and what good is any immigration law if we stop them at our ports and permit them to come in froml Cuba and the other places and permit them to remain? It means simply that the Appropriations Committee of the House can for itself and the Budget Committee can for itself determine what laws that have been passed by Congress shall be enforced or shall stand on the statute books as a nullity. I call attention to the fact that the report of the Commissioner of Immigration goes into detail in respect to the way that men are making money slouggling Chinese into this country. Twentyfive thousand were at one time in Cuba. and there are but 2.500 there now. The rest of them have come to the United States.
