H. R. 9562. introduced by the gentleman from Wisconsin . is as follows: SEc. 39. No alien. if physically fit. shall be excluded from admission into the United States. or be deported after admission. unless found to have been convicted of a felony prior to seeking admission to the United States: Provided. That nothing in this act shall exclude. if otherwise admissible. persons convicted of an offense purely political in its nature. SEC. 40. All acts or parts of acts Inconsistent with the preceding section are hereby repealed. The effect of this bill. if passed by Congress. will be. in its practical results. the repeal of all our restrictive immigration and deportation laws. Under this bill it Is only necessary that a man. seeking to enter the United States. be physically fit and that lie has never been convicted of a felony. Having once been admitted to the United States. he can not be deported. irrespective of what his conduct may be. I do not believe any further explanation as to why the gentlemans bill has not been reported by the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization is necessary.
