How much must a man or a woman have to bring them out of a class of being a public charge? Congress has not fixed that policy. Under the act of 1917. consuls.. if they believe a person is liable to become a public charge. may deny a visa. However. in 1917. if a man or a woman physically fit had some means. say $25 in their clothes. they might come in. and they were not classed as a public charge. But now. when men have two or three or five or ten thousand dollars they are classed as being liable to become a public charge. In that way my good friend Mr. Stimson. the Secretary of State. has been able to refuse 97 per cent of the visas. A number of American mothers who have American children born to them can not get their husbands in just because it is claimed that their husbands are liable to become a public charge. Did Congress pass such a law?
