Who fixes the terms of his admission? Who creates the status for which he was admitted? Provision is to be found in the same paragraph. as follows: shall be admitted to perform agricultural labor in the United States for such time and under such conditions (but not including the exaction of bond to insure ultimate departure from the United States) as may be required by regulations prescribed by the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization with the approval of the Attorney General. In other words. the proposed law does not fix the terms under which such a person shall enter. it does not say when he must leave: the law says that the Commissioner of Immigration may fix the terms and may create his status in this country. What is to prevent the Commissioner of Immigration from admitting such a foreigner on such terms that he may stay here as long as he pleases? What I am afraid of is that if such people may come here while needed. and the Commissioner of Immigration permits them to stay longer without any limitation upon their time. when the war is over they will not leave. What work will such a man go into. or what employment will hd seek? I am thinking about our own men who are out of the country at this time. and who will return. I submit that under the proposed law the Commissioner of Immigration would be given the power to fix the time such person could stay in this country. that the Commissioner of Immigration is to fix his status. and that he must comply only with such terms as may be fixed by the Commissioner of Immigration. That is the way I read the language. and if I am wrong. I should be very glad to be set right.
