I want to call the attention of the committee to provision 3 of section 3 on page 3 of the bill. It is a vitally important section. and has caused a great deal of trouble. but the committee believe they have obviated the difficulty which now exists. Under the present immigration law tje exemptions apply simply to " students." Under that law many hundredsand I use the word "hundreds" advisedlyof aliens have come to this country. have stayed sometimes a day. sometimes a week. and sometimes longer at the universities and schools. and then have gone out as common laborers. using that provision as a subterfuge to get into this country. The present subdivision 3 requires "bona fide students" and the applicant must designate the particular institution which he desires to attend. The further subdivision that Is intended to cure that situation is section 12 on page 10 of the bill. whereby the Commissioner General of Immigration is to issue all the rules and regulations to carry out the provisions of this act. which will. of course. apply to this subdivision. and the committee understand and feel satisfied that the Secretary of Labor and Commissioner of Immigration. either the present one or if there should be another one appointed later. will issue rules and regulations under which the student will have to advise the Commissioner General of Immigration. and through him the Department of Labor. when he completes one of the three provisions provided in this subdivision. the first of which is graduation. This contemplated student who has been admitted as a bona fide student will have to designate by writing to the Secretary of Labor when he graduates. Then we have a complete record of him. and after he graduates he will then be entitled to return home. and if he does not will be deported. Second. when he completes his studies. whether he graduates or not. The third provision. which eliminates the present imperfection in the law. is when he "discontinues" his studies.
