Speaker and Members of the House. I do not quite follow the remarks made by the member of the committee. the gentleman from Michigan . If a man enters this country for business purposes and it is found while in this country he is doing some other kind of work. there are certainly sufficient provisions in the deportation law to put him out. Now. how can we physically determine what he is going to do until he actually gets into the United States? If a man should go before a consulreferring now to Montrodand say. "I want to go to the United States for the purpose of business." what evidence has the consul that he will do anything else but that thing which he is speaking about. namely. that he is going to do some sort of business which he has the right to do under the treaty between the two countries? After he gets here and it is found he is engaged as a hod carrier or as a laborer. there is enough in the deportation law to grab that man and throw him out. In other words. the man changes his status. and no person has a right to change his status. and under the present law even the Commissioner of Labor can not change your status once you are In here for business purposes or for pleasure.
