I desire to call attention to the fact that the fee proposed here is $10. although. it is divided into $9 forvisaing and $1 for registering. It is a $10 fee on all who come to the United States. We have an $8 head tax. and Congress in its wisdom thought that was sufficient. I presume the House will look to its Immigration Committee to straighten that out. We have no provision for rebate of. any part of the fee in case an alien with a passport is denied ad-. nission. Suppose some Member dropped a bill in. the basket proposing such an amendment.
