I am not going to criticize any Americans who have permitted persons to come here who should not have been admitted. unless those Americans had sufficient opportunity and sufficient time to make a careful screening. Witness after witness has said that too many persons have been admitted to this country without proper screening. The fingerprint experts say that applicants rush by them so quickly they are not able to make readable or properly legible fingerprints. that the fingerprints which are made prove of little value for identification purposes. Witnesses have stated that a great many persons have been admitted to this country who have never seen a single American officer until they came to the point of receiving their visas. I do not think we should permit such screening conditions to exist. Mr.
