The burden of proof is upon the individual in every case. The burden of proof never shifts to the Government. The legislation refers to the McCarranWalter Act and makes the McCarranWalter Act a part of the emergency law. particularly section 291. which I will read again. as I did earlier in the debate: Whenever any person makes application for a visa or any other document necessary for. entry or makes application for admission or otherwise attempts to enter the United States. the burden of proof shall be upon such person to establish that he is eligible. Let me say that language specifically is a part of this act by reference. There is absolutely no need for this amendment.
