No. I want to say that from information which the Committee on Immigration has received for the last two years. it seems that if there is any chance for it to work it might be in the future. to my mind. but. as a matter of fact. if you get the testimony of those who have been in foreign countries who have testified in regard to religious persecution. you will find there is practically no persecution on account of religious faith. But in order to dvoid any complication and give those an opportunity. if perchance there was such persecution. they would be given the opportunity to come to this country. according to the construction of the provision as it now reads. The mere fact that there is a rule or law or regulation against a particular faith does not permit him to come to this country under this provision. but he must show to the satisfaction of the Secretary of Labor that he individually is being persecuted by that law or is being persecuted by the overt act.
