Mr. President. my attention has been called to this joint resolution by the Department of Commerce and Labor. or rather by the Bureau of Immigration. a part of that Department. It appears that the person named in the joint resolution is an idiot and comes clearly within tie provisions of the law. and has been ordered to be deported at the expense of the company which brought her here. The case briefly stated is as follows: The family consists of a mother. one son. and four daughters. The son and three daughters are already in this country. The son is a prosperous business man. The mother and the idiot daugher have just arrived and have been ordered to be deported. The son is very anxious to make some provision for the idiot sister. but there is no provision of the law under which any guaranty can be given. I understand the immigration officers have said to him if he would provide a suitable person to accompany the idiot sister upon lier return to the country from which she came the mother will be admitted. I do not know that under the law anything further can be done. and I do not know why anything further should be asked for. If the immigration laws mean anything they mean that this person should be denied adnittance to the United States. The joint: resolution is an attempt. of course. to override the general law and to admit this person into the United States. I (o not know that I can say anything further in explanation of the joint resolution.
