That is a totally different situation from the one to which I apprehend the Senator addresses himself. where there is an obvious opportunity for the transoceanic carriers to deliberately. let us say. enlist the alien seaman. and deliberately take advantage of his enlistment. We are not asking any exemption for this alien seaman when he happens to be identified at this internal port. We are simply asking that he be turned over to the immigration authorities in the usual course. We are not giving him any immunity. but we are suggesting that the Great Lakes Navigation Co. should not be put to the penalty and imposition. as provided in this bill. of sending the alien not only to our own coast. but also probably to the point to which he is ultimately deported. inasmuch as the responsibility obviously is not upon the Great Lakes Co. May I ask the Senator whether he would have any objection to that amendment?
