It is to put the burden on the steamship companies of the expense of the deportation of the individual who is found to be nonadmissible. I am perfectly willing to do that provided they take the individual on board in some foreign port. But if they hire a man in New York City or Boston or San Francisco and take him on a round trip. and then on his return he is found to be a smuggled immigrant and inadmissable. it is all right to deport him. but not at the expense of the steamship company which employed him in the United States.
