Are the people of the United States to continue being compelled to. suffer from their presence merely because they cannot secure passports? And note this well: There is nothing in the bill which requires the detention of any alien until passport for him can be secured. There are three other ways by which any alien covered by this bill may be released from the detention required: First. by shipping as a seaman on some vessel bound for a foreign shore without passport or other authority. second. by obtaining from some foreign government a visitors visa. third. by obtaining from some foreign government any other form of travel document when passport is not fotthcoming. It is inconceivable that many aliens will find it impossible to arrange for their departure from the United States in one of these four ways. By making departure arrangements of any kind. any alien detained under this bill can escape further detention.
