Mr. Speaker. the number of laws passed in the last decade has doubled the size of our statute books. our judiciary in all parts of the United States has been increased. and the dockets are filled to overflowing. and the cry is for more judges. With the passage of this bill would come what I might term the alien or immigrant hunter. who through the machinations of the despicable ilk of blackmailers and extortionists would utilize this law against the unfortunate aliens. Though President Coolidge is in favor of drastic Immigration laws. still in his last message to Congress he has recommended that the present law be humanized. May I inquire of those who are forcing this legislation if they are brave enough to say that there is any provision in this bill that will humanize the harsh immigration laws? Not only the President but thousands of prominent. wellmeaning. and sincere citizens and organizations appeal for relief from the injustice done to 10.000 relatives of American citizens who. after receiving their passports from their own country and being subjected to thorough examination by our consular officials. received their vis~s in 1922. 1923. and 1924. What consideration have the holders of these genuine American vis~ed passports received at the hands of this Congress?
