Mr. President. the reason presented to the Immigration Committee by Representative HunsoN. whose bill it is and at whose instance it passed the House. was that at one time some 18 States had similar laws to this. that now only one State has such a law. the remaining States having repealed the law existing on the subject. so that many declarations of intention that had been made were left invalid and illegal. It is desired. therefore. that the repeal of the national statute conform to the repeal of the State statutes. and that the intentions declared heretofore should be rendered valid.
