He is sadly in error. I know that H. R. 11.204 proposes to regulate the entry of persons into the United States and to establish a border patrol. I know it has been rewritten. and I know that various excuses have been given for the passage of such legislation. But I believe that this is one of those bad pieces of legislation which can not be improved by anmendiment or bolstered up by plausible arguments. It is one of those vicious matters which only become worn the more they are tinkered with and the more plausible the reasons advanced. There is no necessity for this legislation. So far as I can ascertain. no valid objections can be advanced to the effective work now being done by the immigration authorities and other agencies on the border. I heard part of the testimony before the committee and know that the customs and immigration authorities were willing to admit that they were functioning in a proper manner. I do not care who wants this new legislation. They are simply being misled by some misguided person who thinks he has achieved a brilliant idea and given birth to some more "cureall." which will turn out to be nothing but fake patent medicine.
