I personally stood by an Inspector on a ship In New York Harbor and saw him pass a senile woman. As he did so he remarked. " She has been certified as senile. but I shall pay no attention to that. Senator -is interested in her." Political and business powers from the centers largely populated by the foreign born persistently interfere with the faithful administration of the law by pleading for and demanding the admission of mandatorily excluded aliens. The executive department feels compelled to heed these demands as far as possible. The result Is a discreditable and distressing failure to enforce the law In hundreds. probably many thousands. of cases.
