An insult to his people! His people should be those who are Americans. regardless of their nationality. Immigration bhould be decided from the standpoint of what is best for America and not what is in the interest of any other nationality. There has been quite a sentiment created throughout this country to examine and finally pass upon immigrants before they sail for America. If this policy could be put into effect it would save a great deal of suffering and trouble and annoyance to those who come to this country. This bill carries that provision so far as possible -under the present treaties. but this can not be done fully without involving new treaties with various nations. and as to what immigrant shall come to this country. we certainly do not want to leave it to a treatymaking power. These nationalities who are complaining certainly would not allow us the privilege of examining upon their own soil without a treaty. and with a treaty you could. of course. expect them to demand more liberal terms. This being the condition of affairs. this bill accomplishes this In so far as can be done by providing that a questionnaire should be handed to an inquiring alien prolibunding to him various questions. his lifes history. his physical condition. and everything that could be material.
