May I call the attention of the Senator from Wisconsin to the testimony on page 16 of the hearings. in which Mr. Hodgdon. representing the State Department. said: If the provision of the bill read that they should take out as many aliens as deserted here of like kind. that is. aliens who are not entitled to permanent residence. then you would have a real immigration bill. This appears to be a seamens bill and not an Immigration bill. But the popular opinion of the bill is that it is going to stop the illegal increase in the alien population in the United States by immigration as the result of alien seamen deserting. So what have we gained? We are in statu quo.
