I might add in reply to my distinguished friend who makes a great contribution to these proceedings. that private legislationin the field of immigration is a very difficult problem. On the one hand. for example. under the immigration laws we exclude prostitutes. However. American soldiers go abroad. marry certain girls and want to bring them here. Now. what do you do? Do you eliminate from the general statute prostitution as a ground of exclusion or do you enact private legislation in a deserving case? I do not know the answer. frankly. and so long as human nature and the variety of conditions affecting human lives is what it is. of course we are going to have to look into individual cases and weigh the equities in considering private bills.
