The Department of Labor has a rather difficult job to carry on its work. We have millions of aliens in this country. some of whom are here legally and others illegally. You are tying the hands of the Department when you tell the Department of Labor and the Department of State. if they advise an alien he must leave the country and he can do it voluntarily. they are violating the lawif they advise an alien who has an American family and a business in this country and wants to go into an adjacent land to make a legal entry under the immigration laws to that effect. The expression here is used "without a visa." I know all of you will agree with me there is no such law. Every alien must come into this country with a visa. Therefore the language written in here means nothing. Secondly. you are just tying the hands of the Department. which has done. in my opinion. a good job in being able to get out of this country almost 9.000 aliens who voluntarily departed without cost to the Government.
