Mr. Chairman. tills bill is to restrict the number of immigrants that can be admitted to this country under the law. It does not purport to let in anyone who is -not otherwise qualified to -come in under the law. This particular section Is the section limiting the number to 3 per cent. and then giving the deductions -that -may -be made from that 3 per cent. The proposed -amendment. if the Chair will notice. proposes to amend the immigration laws so -as to permit certain persons to enter this country who otherwise would -not have the right to enter. Now. the purpose of tie rule is to prevent legislation being enlacted without notice to the Members. No Member would be notified that we were attempting to change the immigration law so as to permit persons -to eiter the country who. otherwise would not have tie .right to enter it. and -I -say that tie :removal of the restrictions on immigration would not be permitted under a bill which merely limits the n nmber who may come in.
