The proposition in this billI have not the time to answer that sort of a question. because the gentleman does not understand the amendment. If there is an emergency or if an emergency should arise in this country. under my amendment the President would have the right to further restrict or to suspend immigration entirely from any of those countries or from all of them. The amendment does not permit an increase In the number of immigrants at any time. but in an emergency allows the President to further restrict. The second proposition is very important. too. if you will stop and think about it. Whenever the Secretary of Labor is satisfied that any foreign government has restricted the issuance of passports to certain of its nationals or limited the issuance of passports t.o certain classes or individuals or otherwise discriminates in the issuance of such passports the President may by proclamation stop immigration from such country so discriminating.
