I realize that the shipping companies which have been bringing in these aliens are going to object to having themselves made responsible for aliens who come in as seamen. Of course. they have prevailed upon the department and discussed the matter with them. But the responsibility rests with Congress. and if we desire to plug up the biggest hole in our present immigration laws and block the biggest part of the evasions of that law. here is the bill with which to do it. I do not subscribe to the proposal to delay consideration of this important bill any longer. Senators have had ample notice that the bill would be brought up at the first opportunity.
