He wants. however. to make this his permanent home. If the Department of Labor will give him a letter to the Canadian authorities. Canada will let him enter her country for the purpose of making a lawful and legal application for a lawful visa to come within the quota and reenter this country. Let us suppose that the consul refuses to give the man a visa. Then. as the gentleman from Georgia says. he comes back to the United States. but for how long? He can stay here only for the duration of the original 6month permit he receives. in other words. he must go out of this country within 6 month& So no immigation visa is necessary at all to permit his reentry under such circumstances. and he cannot come in here and stay here unlawfully. Every alien must have a visa. My friend complains that criminals have gone out and reentered. The gentleman cannot cite a single instance of that kind to me. for if such a person had a letter. the State Department would stop him under section 7 (c) because he would have to have all of these qualifications and supporting papers.
