The chairman of the committee controls the time. Unless he yields for an amendment. no one can offer an amendment. I am one Member who comes from a large city. who has never at any time since I have been here desired to make our immigration laws so liberal that anybody who wants to can come to this country. You talk about the people that are in this country that are here by fraud. The gentleman from Illinois talks about the people that have secured their naturalization papers by fraud. We have laws on the statute books today to punish those people. We can take care of every one of them. We do not need additional legislation other than agreements with other countries to send them back. The best you are going to get out of this resolution. if it passes. if you get anythingout of it. is legislation liberalizing the immigration laws. I do not have time to go into the resolution as a whole. but take from line 13 to line 20. inclusive. on page 2. This House is telling this committee that it can go to the Department of Justice and say to the Department of Justice. "Give us your confidential files. give us every employee you have that we want." Read it.
