My proposition is to require tli alien to produce a certificate of a reliable physician and also statement as to his record. and then if front the facts and sucl otlier information as the consul n ay have it is clearly and be yond doubt apparent to the consul that such alien is not admis sible. in fairness to the alien. as well as for the protection of the people of this country. the American consul should be given the right to tell the man that he can not be admitted and at the same time refuse to vis6 the passport. If the alien has reached a port of entry in our country. it is difficult and sometimes impossible to deport him. There is pending before the Immigration Committee at the present time bills to permit feebleminded to remain permanently In this country. who now are temporarily admitted here under bond. The cry of hardship to the alien and his family is raised In support of these measures. as well as cold facts that in some cases there may be no country or place to which the alien can be deported. How much better it would have been to have given the consul permission to refuse the vis6 of these feebleminded.
