The law which Congress passed was mandatory. and the law had to be carried out. It is the law that is cruel. not the immigration officials. Now. as to this question of alien blocs. there is no such thing as an alien bloc here or anywhere in the United States. All this discussion about people being controlled by an alien group is absolut~y unfounded. Because aliens now refuse to be herded and exploited is the reason why some now refer to them so disparagingly. They are standing up for their rights and are justified in asking Congress to repeal the cruel provisions of a law that separates their families.
