It Is to their interest and our Interest that we hove the utmost freedom of movement across that frontier. They give the same privileges to us. They are more than courteous in allowing us to establish our immigration officers in their ports. and so I want to say in conclusion that in my judgment this amendment indicates the wrong way to do it. What we ought to do is to apply to Mexico the same method that we have applied in Canada. Let us have perfect free trade across the border in persons with those countries. Let us. by cooperation with them. establish immigration officers in their ports. as we have already done in Canada. so that when a man lands either in a Canadian or a Merican port he Is gfteted right off by an American inspector. and if he does not measure up to the American standard of admissibility. he is not allowed to land in either of those neighboring countries. That way has proven practical In Canada. We work it without the slightest friction with our Canadian neighbors. and I think It would be a great misfortune if we were to change that system.
