The gentleman must realize that all of these immigration bills are sponsored by some Member of the House. and that Member believes that an exception should be made in his particular case. They all rest on the same facts exactly. There are 30 to 40 bills where aliens entered this country on fraudulent passports or forged birth certificates. and if we let them go through by default we are establishing a principle which I think the House would hesitate to establish. and gentlemen on this side and on the other side of the aisle believe that these cases should be sent back to the committee and be brought out in an omnibus bill so that the House can discuss the facts and determine whether these people should remain.
