It does not increase by one poor soul the number who will be admitted to this country eventually. but it does give them just a few days more to enjoy the privileges they are entitled to under this law a little later. It will save relatives. many of them our citizens. expense. annoyance. worry. and disappointment. It will give freedom to a few thousand immigrants who must remain in detention camps or take a long. tedious ocean journey with its attendant discomforts. I prefer to help these people out of their difficulties rather than to appeal to your prejudices or punish the steamship companies for a situation which may or may not be due to their negligence. Surely you can not hold the innigrant is at fault. and it is the women and children who are to be punished and who will suffer if you refuse this relief.
