Sweden. Denmark. and others. were almost as numerous here in 1890 as in 1910. Therefore I framed a bill. which I am. constrained to believe. from my knowledge of the sentiments and expressions of the members of the Immigration Committee. will meet the approbation of a majority. However. such a law if enacted will not entirely meet the present conditions. Aliens are being continuously smuggled in. as shown by the report of the commissioner. An alien registration law. advocated by the President. and which I propose to introduce at this session. will not fully meet the exigency. The pressing need of the hour is an ample appropriation to more strictly guard the ports and borders. to detect and deport undesirable aliens who have surreptitiously or otherwise gained admission into the United States. Inadequate as the amount called for In the amendment is I shall heartily support the measure. trusting and hoping that it may be a driving wedge. and hereafter we may procure such appropriation as will effectively and efficiently carry out the immigration laws.
