We not only want all the. immigration laws now in force and effect to continue. but we want all other existing laws that are touched by this bill to continue in force and effect except as this bill is cumulative thereof. . We do not want to modify the passport laws except as modified for the time being by this act. and whenever you undertake to pick out one act and specify it. you thereby exclude from your saving clause other acts now in existence. You accomplish your whole purpose by saying "existing laws." That covers the whole earth. That covers all laws.
