Speech #600005581

I want to state to the gentleman that the Secretary of Commerce and Labor. as I understand it. has no power to waive the provision of. the law regulating the admission of aliens into this country. Not even an appeal could be taken from the hoard of examiners who examined this alien. and not even. I think. can the certificate of the doctor be questioned under the immigration laws of the United States. and. furthermore. I want to say this: That the difficulty of speech that this woman has. with her enfeebled condition. makes it a proper case where the section should be waived as to her. because upon the real merits of it she is not subject to this objection. I have the proof on file in the records showing that this woman is soundminded.
