No such administrative power should be given without a check or review of some kind. None is provided in this bill. The consulates are the channels through which immigration flows to this country. We have a right to expect action based on reason. but I doubt that there Is any Member in this House who has not experienced the frustration of trying and being unable to penetrate the reasons underlying a consuls rejection of a prospective immigrant who is seeking to join his relatives in this country. A groundless suspicion. a vague personal opinion by the consul. or perhaps a dyspeptic stomach. for all we know. may doom an immigrant and those awaiting him in this land to disillusionment and despair. There is no question that we must have security and protection from subversives and criminals who seek quota numbers. Such persons should be kept from our shores.
