One of the members of his family. namely. a son then under age. wis a feebleminded child. It seems that this child. at the age of 3 years. had a spell of fever which left his mind in an enfeebled condition. That child was admitted by the imnmigration authorities under bond given by his father to deliver him up for deportation when called upon by the Government so to do. Since that time tile order permitting his entry into and remaining in the United States has been continued or renewed from time to time until recently an order of deportation has been issued.. The child is as harmless as a 3yearold baby and dearly loved by its parents. who are American citizens. In fact. his father is ome of the best citizens we have in Missouri. He is one of our foremost business men. a man amply financially able to maintain and keep his child il a State institutionif that be necessaryand to set apart for him an annity to insure that he wili never become a public charge or a public menace in any way. My amendment merely grants discretion and power in the Sereltary to permit this action. under proper rules and regultions to Ie prescribed by the Secretary. If the order for this childs deportation is put into effect it virtually means the deportation of an American family. His parents will depart when the child is required to go. They are as fine people as I have ever met.
