We think in these very trying days. when American citizens going to other countries may often get into a predicament which will require the assistance of our consular and diplomatic representatives. it is exceedingly important for the country as a whole. and for the individuals as well. that their exact right should be determinable at a moments notice. We have similarly thought in these trying days. when the whole world is seeking to come to the United States. when the un1vorthy and undesirable are seeking to come as well as the worthy and desirable. that in every possible way we shall control and restrict the tide of undesirable immigration from Europe. And in this bill we are simply providing two sieves through which the intending immigrant should pass instead of the one that he has now. We do not in any way limit the provisions of the immigration law. We are trying to make it more universal and more adequately~operative and enforceable.
