If an importer of synthetic pearls. for example. feels that he has been discriminated against or not properly treated by an American consul. he has the right of judicial review and the right of hearing. Under the McCarran bill he does not have that right. A consular officerand he may be inexperienced. because in many cases such officers are stationed for a maximum of 2 years in a particular portmay deny a person a visa. and there is no review whatever provided from the consuls decision. The decision is definite. definitive. and that is all there is to it. If anyone wants to bring into the United States a German dachshundone of those long dogs that look like a wienerand the application is denied the person can get a court review and obtain a hearing.
