I do not see why they should fear deportation. If there is not anything in their record to prevent their becoming American citizens except the fact of Illegal entry. and if that entry was five years previous to the time they filtheir application. they will not be liable to deportation. No one can be deported for illegal entry unless proceedings are brought within five years of the illegal entry. This is simply a measure intended as. the ground work for the relief of a considerable body of foreign born in our country. who are iiot organized in foreignborn groups but who are subst~ntial men. seattred throughout our country. of all nationalities. who are desirable men to have in their community. but at the present time. through some technicality of the law. they are not able to become American citizens. I believe we should be always willing to extend relief and help to those foreign born whom we have within our borders. who are honorable. industrious. and law abiding. and who have in fact an abiding love and desire for American citizenship.
