Let me make a statement right there. I would like to make it very clear here that the emergency passport control extended for one year is not intended to actually supersede the immigration laws. The State Department desires to act in accord with these laws. I will make this still more clear by reading from the instructions of the State Department to its consuls. I read from paragraph 14: (14) Aliens to be informed of regulations: In order to prevent or avoid. so far as possible. the hardships and dangers involved in deportation under present conditions. the diplomatic and consular officer to whom a passport is presented for vis6i shall ascertain to the fullest extent practicable whether the -holder is a member of any one of the classes excluded from the United States by provisions of section "3 of the immigration act of February 5. 1917. If in the judgment of such official the alien is a member of such a class. he shall so advise the alien. informing him of the serious risk he is assuming in attempting to enter the United States. but If the alien. nevertheless. insists on proceeding. the officer shall vlsd the passport. if it Is valid. and if there is no evidence that the alien is inimical to the United States. but shall place upon the aliens declaration the notation. "Advised that he will probably be rejected and deported." In such a case the consul making the notation shall write upon the declaration. to be sent to the proper immigration official in the United States. a statement of his reasons for making it.
