Let me continue: Except that any ship of the merchant marine of any sovereign nation may freely bring any excluded citizen or subject of such nation or any person not racially excluded. He may be brought in under the first phrase and excluded under the last phrase of the three phrases. because it providesExcept that any ship of the merchant marine of any sovereign nation may freely bring any excluded citizenBut in the next line it providesor any person not racially excluded. It strikes me that in the first phrase. on line 3. an exception is made. and then the exception is contradicted in the same sentence on line 5.

"exclusive. however. of any citizen. subject. or inhabitant of any colony. dependency. or mandate who is racially excluded from coming to the United States as an immigrant." I say to the Senator that as I read this. even if it projects the thought which the author of the bill has in mind. it strikes me as being so contradictory that a wrong interpretation would be placed upon it. because. first. it excludes.
