Just as quick as the discovery is made that he is here illegally we ought to deport him. But it is not any more just to deport him at the expense of the steamship company on whose boat he last shipped than it would be to deport him at the expense of the trolley car company on whose car he last took a ride around the city. They had nothing to do with his original coming. and therefore ought not to be blamed and penalized for his deportation. but he ought to be deported. I agree with the Senator fully and that is why I proposed an amendment to the Great Lakes provision the other day. I was fearful that it might give immunity to a seaman who was involved. and I wapted to make it clear that it should not do so. I think we all agree that that was proper. So I have here in section 3 asked to strike out the words "prior to the passage of this act." which will not give immunity to the illegal entrant himself. he would still be deported. All we will do will be to remove the penalty from the steamship company. which is perfectly innocent in the whole transaction and had nothing whatever to do with the original entry of the individual.
