The Senator from New York asked a question with reference to a subject in which I am interested in my consideration of section 7. Line 9 on page 4 says thatAny alien seaman brought into a port of the United States in violation of this provision shall be excluded from admission or temporary landing and shall be deported. either to the place of shipment or to the country of his nativity. as a passenger. on a vessel other than that on which brought. The question I have in mind is this: Suppose a Chinaman. for instance. had been employed on a Swedish boat and the boat came into a port of America. Under this law. as I have construed this sentence from not a very extended study. it seems to me that the authorities would be compelled to take him from that boat and to have him shipped back on a boat other than the one on which he came. Is that contrary to the Senators construction?
