Sam's arguments for the treaty included ease of immigration for the Chinese.
Strange, but when I read this recently in my research, the thought occurred
to me that Sam's arguments and very words can just as easily be used today
in
favor of "amnesty" or some path to citizenship for illegal aliens.  Have
times changed much?
