I yield myself 10 minutes more. The gentleman from Washington has stressed on many occasions the wisdom of the quota law. I voted for that law and wish to see it strictly enforced. Our subcommittee has made diligent inquiry into all violations. with a view of supplying adequate funds for its enforcement. However. thosi who believe in the law should give serious consideration to some fundamental facts that weaken the law and make its rigid enforcement difficult. if not impossible. Until these facts are given consideration you can never enforce it as it should be. You will never be able to prevent aliens from coming in surreptiously and remaining here until. in my judgment. you write into the law some provision requiring registration.
