Unfortunately. the majority did not see fit to allow these amendments to be debated or voted upon on the House floor. One of the these amendments would have changed the socalled expedited exclusion provision of this legislation. Under this bill. if someone comes to this country with improper documents. gets off at the airport without valid documents or with improper documents or no documents. he is to be examined on the spot by an immigration officer. by the fellow at the table. 10 minutes. 15 minutes. and that follow. who is expected to know in detail the political situation. the racial situation. the war or not situation in every country in the world. will decide on the spot whether he has established the right to asylum based on showing a legitimate fear of persecution if he goes back home. without an opportunity for a lawyer. perhaps not speaking English. without an opportunity to get witnesses. without an opportunity to collect documents. without any opportunity. The appeal from a negative decision would go to the supervisor on the spot. and then he would be sent right back. Now. if you think about it. this is exactly backward.
