The Senator from Connecticut complains because the bill was not referred to the Committee on Commerce. I am not able to follow his argument. This bill is supplemental to the immigration laws. it is essentially and primarily an immigration measure. dealing with immigration problems. The inadequacy of the present immigration laws has been referred to by officials of the Government charged with their enforcement and recommendations made looking to the strengthening of their provisions. The claim is often made that our immigration laws have been fairly effective in closing the "front doors " to undesirable or inadmissible aliens. but they have left open the "side doors." through which more than 500.000 persons have illegally entered the United States during the past 8 or 10 years.
