This could be done. The State Department can and should do the "cracking." This expression is a figurative one for discipline or punishment with admonition to sin no more. We could call the Department to task. and it in turn could admonish the consuls not to give undue emphasis to this Presidential proclamation. not to be cruel and oppressive or unreasonable in its application. but then in many cases the consuls would again arbitrarily refuse visas to persons who would not really become public chargespersons who have had as much. taking the combined resources of the immigrant on the other side of the water and what they have had here. as $2.500. It is ridiculous to refuse visas to those with that much money. They would never become public charges. That is a lot of money these days. Some of these excluded immigrants have had more than some Congressmen can claim to their credit. And they have been denied admission into this country. That is what I mean when I say undue emphasis was laid upon the Executive order.
