If we are going to make any suggestions as to his manner of exercising that power. which the bill as presented by the committee does. I want us not to couple that suggestion with any hint that we think he should modify the law to meet the treaties. In his action in dealing with the immigration laws. with the advice and consent of the Senate. ie will be making "the supreme law of the land." before which prior immigration statutes will have to give way. If we are to suggest anything. let us suggest that le make the treaties fit our immigration statutes. When he carries the regulation of immigration into the treatymaking functions of his office lie enters into a forum where the voice .of foreign powers must be heard and their will consulted. I hope that there may be an affirmative declaration by Congress that when the treatyuaking power is exercised by the President. as suggested by this title. it should be done in compliance with the immigration laws.
