It does away with the provision which compels him to prove his right to remain. If he was lawfully entitled to enter. An alien following his arrival can be deported for certain conduct here in America. Under the provisions of the section as drawn. the burden of proof In any such proceeding of deportation would be upon the alien to establish his right to remain. This is a legal provision. My purpose is largely to call the attention of the House to the fact that there is now a provision in the Chinese exclusion act making it incumbent upon the Chinaman in any proceedings under the act to establish his right to remain here. The United States courts have held that provision to be valid. Now I. for one. do not feel that we ought to amend this provision at the present time simply upon a hurried consideration of the question.
