FIRST ANNUAL MESSAGE Executive Mansion, Washington, December 3, 1889 The enforcement of the Chinese exclusion act has been found to be very difficult on the northwestern frontier. Chinamen landing at Victoria find it easy to pass our border, owing to the impossibility with the force at the command of the customs officers of guarding so long an inland line. The Secretary of the Treasury has authorized the employment of additional officers, who will be assigned to this duty, and every effort will be made to enforce the law. The Dominion exacts a head tax of $50 for each Chinaman landed, and when these persons, in fraud of our law, cross into our territory and are apprehended our officers do not know what to do with them, as the Dominion authorities will not suffer them to be sent back without a second payment of the tax. An effort will be made to reach an understanding that will remove this difficulty. * * * * * * * * Volume: IX Pages: 197-198 During the term of Benjamin Harrison while in Office as President March 4, 1889, to March 4,1893. THIRD ANNUAL MESSAGE Executive Mansion, December 9, 1891 To the Senate and House of Representatives: (extract of message) The enforcement by the Treasury Department of the law prohibiting the coming of Chinese to the United States has been effective as to such as seek to land from vessels entering our ports. The result has been to divert the travel to vessels entering the ports of British Columbia, Whence passage into the United States at obscure points along the Dominion boundary is easy. A very considerable number of Chinese laborers have during the past year entered the United States from Canada and Mexico. The officers of the Treasury Department and of the Department of Justice have used every means at their command to intercept this immigration; but the impossibility of perfectly guarding our extended frontier is apparent. The Dominion government collects a head tax of $50 from every Chinaman entering Canada, and thus derives a considerable revenue from those who only use its ports to reach a position of advantage to evade our exclusion laws. There seems to be satisfactory evidence that the business of passing Chinamen through Canada to the United States is organized and quite active. The Department of Justice has construed the laws to require the return of any Chinaman found to be unlawfully in this country to China as the country from which he came, notwithstanding the fact that he came by way of Canada; but several of the district courts have in cases brought before them overruled this view of the law and decided that such persons must be returned to Canada. This construction robs the law of all effectiveness, even if the decrees could be executed, for the men returned can the next day recross our border. But the only appropriation made is for sending them back to China, and the Canadian officials refuse to allow them to reenter Canada without the payment of the fifty-dollar head tax. I recommend such legislation as will remedy these defects in the law. .XzвЄю5\0JB*phCJOJQJ.0╚°·@▓┤Lцz Ц, ─ N ш ~  Z ║ ╝ ° ·°ЎЇЄЁюьъшцфтр▐▄┌╪╓╘╥╨╬$a$° · Р ╛ └ fh└ъb№Ц&╝V╓pЪ(┬Zф|¤√∙ўїєёяэыщчхус▀▌█┘╫╒╙╤╧|и@╩TцА▓8в¤√∙ўїєёяэыхдд 0░╨/ ░р=!░n"░n#Рn$Рn2P1Рh0p3P(20■ ╒═╒Ь.УЧ+,∙оD╒═╒Ь.УЧ+,∙о\щ¤щ¤Root Entry         └FА CompObj    jOle         1Table            Y SummaryInformation(    -мWordDocument             2&DocumentSummaryInformation8            0t            ■
