Morally. no law and no individual is justified in separating a man from his wife and children. It is a reflection upon Americas honor and it should be wiped off our statute books to clear Americas name among the different civilized peoples of the world. Every day in my office I see poor. helpless. weeping imuiigrants who cry pitifully and say to me: "Doctor SIRovicH. I would like to bring over my wife and children. from whom I have been separated by this cruel. inhuman immigration law for the last three to five years. Can you not. please. help me?" I say to you. honored sir. "Whomever God has united together. let no Congressman tear asunder."
