The only objection urged against this joint resolution is that there are other cases of the same general kind. What better work can the Committee on Immigration do than to eliminate the harshness of the Immigration law? We have a Pension Committee. There are certain cases where the general pension law works harshly on deserving and brave soldiers. and the committee reports special bills to cover those cases. We have a Committee on Claims. and where the general claims law in regard to bringing suit works hardship on claims they are considered individually. If the facts in this case are as they are stated to be. why should it be necessary to refer the joint resolution to the Committee on Immigration? If the immigration law works hardship in cases like this. it ought to be corrected. I have had occasion to examine into this matter and have heard it. and as a result of that examination I do hope that Senators will not object to the consideration of the joint resolution. because we do the same thing in various cases. We do it in regard to pensions. we do it in regard to claims. we do it in every committee in the 2enatemake special provision for cases where hardship is worked under the general law.
