Canadians returning. American born. naturalized Canadians. returning now have to pay a head tax and visa fees. Mr. BuRNEss. They would have to come in as Immigrants. but I do not know how this bill would be applied as to quota. I could not see anything in it or in the general act. from the examination that I was able to give It. to determine that question. and I decided to ask you what the conclusion would be. At any rate. it is a matter deserving your careful consideration if you determine to report a bill carrying out the general purposes of this one. I am one of those. however. who would insist most strenuously that if any person born in the United States and who had become a citizen elsewhere. as for instance In Canada. and that person who has gone to Canada and lost his citizenship In that way gets to the point where he desires to come back to the country of his birth. he ought not to be barred by reason of any arbitrary quota provision. if he is otherwise proper to be admitted. that is. if he passes the various tests that our general Immigration laws provide. If he entertains no notions of government that are wrong. in so far as our policy In the United States Is concerned. or anything of that sort. and is generally qualified. I feel that be ought to be admitted.
