We rejected these appeals. We refused to junk our American way of checks and balances for some cheaper form of executive government. S. 2550 invalidates or emasculates the application of the Administrative Procedure Act to immigration and deportation cases at many points. In effect it would make permanent law of an appropriation rider overruling the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Wong Yang Sung v. McGrath (339 U. S. 33). and would endorse the practice of prosecutors serving as Judges in immigration cases. But it would go even further in emasculating judicial review of oppressive administrative acts. This it would do by making the test of exclusion or deportation not the issue of whether the immigrant has done something wrong. but the issue of whether some bureau official is "satisfied" or "has reason to believe" that he is innocent or guilty. Mr. President.
