The Senator will recall that in my remarks yesterday 1 attempted to make some reasonable explanation of those figures which the Senator has just quoted. There can be no doubt. certainly I have no doubt in my mind. that in times past tile conditions at the port of entry were not right. There was not given to each immigrant that careful examination regarding his mental and physical condition which should have been given. However. I attempted to explain on yesterday. and I should like now to repeat. tlit with the greater restriction upon immigration which prevails at the present time. and which will be even greater after the passage of this proposed act. there Is such careful examination that in the future there can be hud at the door of the immigrant no greater charge of lack of mental stability than can be laid against the Americanborn citizen. I am sure the Senator from South Carolina will be glad to know this and to take it Into consideration.
