Then can the gentleman answer this question: Why is it that the Secretary of State has taken these refugee children and put them in a separate category? At one time they were going to come in under visas. Now they are coming in as visitors. The law provides an unlimited number of these visitors may come in. but they must all come in alike. Why is it that the Secretary of State compels the giving of a thousanddollar bond in certain cases while these children can come in by giving only a $50 bond. which is so small that it amounts to no bond whatever? The gentleman should not stand here and make the principal part of his argument to the effect that this does not obviate and does not set aside any immigration laws and still he is not willing to close the door and say there shall not be any ambiguity about the matter. Let us be fair. Let us permit the children to come in but let us put it up to the Secretary of State to protect the immigration laws. I am willing to trust the Secretary of State. but let us give him to understand that all must come in alike and that they must come in under the terms of the immigration law about which the gentleman has protested so loudly and which he says they must comply with. That ought to be fair. Mr.
