Mr..President. I am glad to have the Senators statement. I am reminded. however. of the fact that we should he more diligent in the selection of immigrants. that we should examine immigrants at the port of embarkation and not wait until they come to this country. If we allow any at all to conme. we should examine them not only as to their physical but as to their moral and financial status. in order to determine that they are suitable people to become citizens of this country. We now have too much of the riffraff of other countries here. In fact. I should favor an examination into the activities of many immigrants who are here. ind if they can not show a clean bill of health and a clean bill of morals. If they could not prove an intention to support our institutions and our Government In a proper way. I should favor deporting such. We should be better off if the vicious element among them were denied the privileges of this great country. I have no ill will against the wellbehaved and the goodintentioned people of any country.
