We have put it off during the entire time. not because we have been neglectful but practically powerless. The reason why is that we do not have the power to make appropriations. If our committee had the power to make appropriations. we would have acted long ago and provided a contented anti sufficient administration force. not only for the immigration but of the naturalization laws as well. Mr. Chairman. I am not going to enter into a long discussion of the question of immigration in general. Even under this drastic bill you recognize that you can not have complete suspension of immigration. and yet what are you trying to do? You are saying to the Secretary of Labor. " You must determine in each particular instance who is to come into the United States." A man may have become a citizen of the United States. Some judges admit men to citizenship while their wives are yet on the other side. and yet through error or otherwise no provision has been made in this bill by which a man could sendfor his wife.
