That is the position of the gentleman. There is no question but that there is going to be some misunderstanding about this. For instance. it has been the law of this country for years that the entry of immigrants should be controlled by law. And it was brought out here today that when a certain individual called up and wanted a relative to come in that he was advised that a $1.000 bond would be required. They are not admitted. because the exigencies or the circumstances are such that they cannot assure the authorities that they will return or that they can return. Another person says that the State Department has been permitting these people to come in under a $50 bond. Let us not have a misunderstanding about this. Now. will the gentleman permit an amendment to be offered as follows: After the words "Secretary of State" insert the words "subject to the provisions of the immigration laws"? If he will permit that. I am sure it will satisfy a good many Members.
