Mr. Chairman. from a hasty reading of the amendment. it would appear that the sponsor of the amendment has merely intended it to prevent the socalled preexamination practice now followed by the Immigration and Naturalization Service In permitting certain classes of aliens who are more or less technically subject to deportation to be preexamined and to proceed to Canada for the purpose of securing immigration visas with the end in view of entering the United States in a legal manner. These classes are designed to care for nonquota or first preference under the quota. and those designed to be benefited by the present arrangement are the wives and minor children and husbands where the marriage occurred prior to July 1. 1932. of citizens who petition for immigration visas. and the parents and husbands where the marriage occurred after July 1. 1932. of citizens. However. the language of the amendment is so broad that it may involve a complete change in deportation policy which has existed for at least a score of years. This will be discussed later. but it might be well to cite one example of a case that at present comes under the preexamination rule. A entered the United States as a visitor shortly after July 1. 1924.
