The amendment which the gentleman has offered in. itself is not objectionable. All I desire to do is- to call the attention of the committee to the fact that the system provided for. as stated by the gentleman from Washington. is not so simple as he is trying to make the committee believe. They still provide in this bill not merely for an immigration certificate but also for a passport. so that an immigrant not only must have a certificate from the consul but he must also have his passport visded. I have been under the tmpression that either one of these two instruments would snflice. that it would save a great deal of money to the Government. it would simplify I the matter and at the sne time it would protect our country from having anyone enter who is not entitled to come under the law.
