I think as a nmatter of ecdnony they are trying to find some commercial vessel sailing to some port in Russia. What I want to say to this membership is this: In my opinion. the whole immigration system is in a wretched state. I am not sure but that we will have to ask authority for a select committee to be appointed by the Speaker to sit during any recess that we may have for the purpose of rewriting the entire immigration and naturalization laws. I believe that to be necessary. It would be quite a heavy task. It is charged that these immigration laws are a crazy quilt. patched up. and they are. and it is a fact that in all of the immigration laws %Ve have written we have marched up the hill rather stiffly. and then put a little loophole in whatever we have done sufficient for some officer who is not in sympathy with the law to find a way to escape it.
