I had the impression that both of those statements were incorrect. but of course the Senators authority is more recent than mine. I ought to say that as to tle immigrant coming from Mexico. although under the present law there is no qiota restriction. there is the same $8 head tax that is imposed on Immigrants from any other country. Eight dollars means a very large sum to many of the Mexican innnigrants. and that is why large numbers of them come In illegally. smuggle themselves across the border. in order to beat that head tax. Imagine. if you please. that we put on the quota suggested by this amendment. The result would be that instead of having some of them come through -the inspectors offices and tle rest smuggled in. all of them would be smuggled in. and here is what one of the chiefs of the inspection districts along the Mexican border says.
