The two last admit many aliens who could not be admitted under the former. I can fish into the basket almost any day and take out a resolution by the chairman of the committee ratifying the illegal admissions of aliens. the later ones being more and more liberal to the aliens and steamship lines. Since I am fully convinced that such resolutions go far toward breaking down tile law. and since the Commissioner General of Immigration has advised the committee that a similar resolution. which did not ratify or authorize the admission of more than onethird as many as this does. tended to break down the law. I think these deathblows should be as few and infrequent as possible. Speaking. of House joint resolution 237. one of this troupe. the chairlman himself asked the Commissioner General of Immigration the following question: Do you think a resolution of that kind running for a time coincident with tile emergency act would break the act down ?
