IMMIGRATION REGULATIONS
AS APPLIED TO RADICALS
TO BE MADE MORE DRASTIC
NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—Some of the
defects of the Ellis Island and seven j
recommendations which the congres-j
tional committee will make to the
house for a ‘‘tightening up” of immi-j
gration regulations throughout the
United States, particularly as they ap-|
ply to anarchists, bolshevists and
other ultra radicals, were indicated j
here today by officials of the United;
States Immigration Station and by]
Representative Isaac Siegel, a member)
of the committee which has been in
vestigating this port of entry.
These recommendations, according
to Mr. Siegel, will include (1) Natur
alization Courts in large cities; (2)
a method of requiring all young Amer
icans to take the oath of allegiance
upon reaching 21 years; (3) abolition
of the office of Commissioner Gener
al of Immigration;'(4) appointment of
an Assistant Secretary of the depart
ment of labor to supervise all immi
gration affairs; (5) madatory legisla
tion providing for more rigid inspec
tion at Ellis Island, where 80 per cent
of incoming aliens arrive; (6) a mili
tary immigration patrol on the Cana
dian and Mexican borders; (7) more
drastic penalty for ship owners who
permit alien members of crews to de
sert.
“You can’t tell a Red by looking at
him," declared one of the Ellis Island
officials. “You can’t catch a Red by
cross-examining him. They are too
shrewd. It is only after they have
been in the country for a sufficient
length of time that you discover their
pernicious beliefs and when you do no
time should be lost in deporting them.
No examination, prior to entry, can
give the protection intended by the
law. It is necessarily perfunctory
and ineligible aliens are bound to slip
through because of our wrong meth
ods.”
New York has the biggest immigra
tion station in the country, he said,
the others being Boston, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Fran
cisco, and Seattle, Wash. Norfolk,
Virginia, and Galveston, Texas, are
ports of entry with inspection officers
but are not classed as stations like
Ellis Island and the rest. It is com
paratively easy to shut out the men
tally and physically defective when
they come in at these big ports, said
Congressman Siegel, but the big prob
lem is to prevent, the entrance of un
desirable aliens over our Northern
and Southern borders.
“Inadequate as our immigration
machinery may be in New York- and
o;her ports,” said the Congressman,
“it is much more effective than our
machinery we have along the inter
national boundary lines of Canada and
Mexico. We have no means of
knowing how many men and women
hostile to American institutions and
democratic government, have surrep
titiously entered the United States.
Still another means of illegal ingress
has been made for Reds to ship as
sailors and desert upon reaching this
country. Under -our present law the
ship owners can be penalized by a
fine of $10 only. We purpose making
the penalty more stringent.”
The house committee, Mr. Siegel
said, will recommend the establish
ment of the Naturalization Court so
that Federal and other judges, whose
time is taken up with hearing hun
dreds of civil and criminal cases, mayi
be relieved of a task of immense im
portance to the country’s welfare but
which, by the very nature of things
at present, is generally slighted from
sheer judicial necessity.
Last year, Mr. Siegel said, the gov
ernment realized a net profit from
naturalization fees of $450,000 and the
profit to date since the beginning of
the immigration service has been
$10,000,000. Such a court, it was said,
could expedite hearings and "undesir
ables” instead of being release.d on
their own recognizance or paroled in
the custody of their lawyers, could
be ordered deported within thirty
days.
Qne judge, said the Congressman,
his mind preoccupied with other
cares recently had a lot of natural
ization cases before him. The crowd
in the court room represented sev
eral nationalities. Soon a bailiff
shouted: "All you Czecho-Slovaks
hold up your hands!” Up went the
hands of about a dozen. The judge,
thinking of other pressing matters,
soberly remarked: "Gentlemen of the
jury!” but quickly recovered himself
and administered the oath of citizen
ship. Here ■was a ceremony which
should have been attended with great
care and solemnity turned almost in
to vaudeville show.
A Naturalization Court, presided
over by Federal judges similar to the
Circuit Court of Appeals and where
it would be known who was to admin
ister the oath of allegiance, declar
ed Mr. Siegel, could lend dignity and
force to one of the most sacred obr
ligations imposed upon the alien and
start him right on the road to patri
otism and good citizenship.
