Dis bill. H. R. 5921. reduces the quotas of all countries now having an immigration quota. establishes immigration quotas for countries on the two American continents and rearranges the present law with regard to aliens granted preference status under the immigration quotas. These subjects have been considered by this committee on numerous occasions during the past several years and the most recent advice from the State Department and the Labor Department Is. in principal. that legislative reduction of quotas now existing is not now necessary since Immigration is exceedingly small. and that the fixing of quotas for countries of the Western Hemisphere is not desirable under the present policy of encouragement for friendly trade relations with those American countries. Section 3 of Mr. DIEs bill repeals a humane amendment enacted in 1932 to an earlier law. sometimes referred to as the "banishment law". and Mr. DIEs would. in effect. reenact the harsher provisions of that banishment law. Under its provisions any alien once deported would be forever barred from returning to the United States unless permission is first gotten from the Secretary of Labor. and if he does come back without that permission he becomes a felon. Congress spoke on this subject when the act of May 25. 1932. was approved. The pertinent part of that act. section 7.
