I move to strike out the last word. Our good friend from Illinois wants the United States to appear and act. if not as real guardian at least as guardian ad litem. for the foreign population In all the countries across the seas. because. as lie says. the passports on British ships are improperly vis~ed. He says we are aiding and abetting the British shipowners in bringing the people as immigrants to Canadaaiding and abetting by not having their passports visded. I want to make it so hard for the immigrant to come to this country that not only would he have to have his record from his birth up but he would have to have all kinds of passports to get over to the United States. I can not see why some Members of Congiess should be called upon on all occasions to be the special sponsors of the people abroad. In all this oratory by these gentlemen who are so much interested in these aliens I have not heard a single one of them speak of their interest in the old stock of America.
