Immigration bill would expand exclusions and penalties
A report from Senator Dillingham outlines amendments to immigration law. The proposal broadens the class of excludable aliens to include imbeciles and mentally or physically defective individuals, tightens head taxes, raises fines for steamship imports, and requires ships to report and remove inadmissible travelers. It also creates a division to distribute information and strengthens provisions against certain social undesirables.
