Mr. Chairman. the present law under which immigration matters are handled in the United States is. in my judgment. farcical. tragic. and a monstrosity. I say this for the reason that it permits a great Nation like the United States to divide a family. send one member. perhaps the mother. to Canada. the father to Europe. and it might possibly permit the sending of the children to South America. If an intelligent body like the Congress of the United States is willing to permit such a law to remain on the statute books without any attempt to mitigate it. then that body is not exercising intelligent legislative functions.
