In this instance we are only asking that they be allowed to come in when Americans can not be found who will do the work. My friend. the Senator from Wyoming. offered this amendmeat. I suggested it in the Committee on Immigration. and I still believe that it is fair. that it is right. and that it will not do American labor any harm. Under this amendment people from anywhere in the United States can go there and get work. yes. demand it. for no Mexican can come over if American labor can be found and no Mexican can come unless he is an " otherwise admissible alien." And if diseased. and so forth. he can not come under this amendment. It will not injure American labor but will protect it from the abuses now being used against our immigration law. and American labor should support the amendment.
