Under a provision of the act " the Coimissioner General of Immigration. with the approval of the Secretary of Labor "-I amn reading now from the act itself-" shall issue rules and prescribe conditions. including exaction of such bonds as may be necessary. to control and regulate the admission and return of otherwise inadmissible aliens applying for teinporary admission." It was intended by Congress. as the debates and hearings in both Houses all disclose. to provide for cases where an alien inadmissible here had made the trip and was sick o the ship. and humanity required that lie should be temporarily allowed to land. or wanted to visit hispeople for a day or twosoe such case as that. It is proposed to apply this proviso to thousands ofcontract laborers to be brought in here from Mexico. I thank the Senator from Utah for his courtesy.
