I thought I understood the purpose of the amendment to be that the child should be here to familiarize himself with our institutions. There is one provision of the bill that applies to immigration. and that is one of the repealing sections. It repeals a portion of the immigration laws. I am very pleased to be able to talk about this for the remaining time assigned to me. Some of you will remember a nefarious law passed here .over the protest of many of us 2 or 3 years ago. It was passed as a special law. and I have always been aslhamed of it. It was passed expressly to admit into this country one individual woman. The immigration laws of the country were changed for the purpose of admitting this one individual woman. Ever since I have been a Member of this House I never have seen any legislation that was brought about purely by the power of money regardless of merit. I do not mean that this money was used in any illegal way. but this individual had enough to keep a lobby here for years and to lay carefully the foundations for a long fight.
