Very definite conclusions necessarily follow the ex istence of this situation. Since we can not maintain such agencies in foreign countries without their consent. and such consent has not been and probably can not be obtained. it is vain to depend upon foreign examinations. If possible and desirable. such examinations would be impracticable because of the expense and other administrative difficulties attendant upon an effort to maintain immigration stations or an immigration inspection force at all the sources of immigration. The immigrants come from 10.000 placesthroughout Mexico. Canada. and beyond. for myriads come from those countries and through them. Can we maintain immigration stations or agencies at the door of every wouldbe immigrant? Such a plan would be like the effort of a farmer. whose field was surrounded by an open range. trying to build inclosures around the live stock on all the range to avoid maintaining a fence around his own field.
