Their purpose is entirely different from the purpose of the original bill. The original bill deals with American citizens who are going abroad and is urged on this floor for the benefit of American citizens. The amendments that have been introduced are not for the purpose of benefiting American citizens. but are for the purpose of benefiting aliens who wish to come to our country as immigrants. The immigration law. as the gentle-. man from Washington . chairman of the Committee -on Immigration. said a few minutes ago. was based on the theory that by a selective plan of immigration we could get a better class of immigrants. In order to put that selective plan of immigration into operation it called for an increase in our Consular Service. and the fees received from these immigrants are expended for the maintenance of our increased Consular Service.
