But Tom Smith. a workingman from Dublin. was not about to take on the U.S. Government within minutes after completing a long transatlantic flight and suffering from the jetlag that usually afflicts each of us. So he was packed off unceremoniously. Immigration officials now dismiss this travesty as an "unfortunate inconvenience" and they thoughtfully offer Tom the opportunity to apply for another visa and try it all over again. Well. Mr. Speaker. this would not wash. It simply would not do. Through no fault of his ownand only as a result of bureaucracy gone berserkTom Smith was ejected from the United States.
