The law was amended so that if an American soldier. honorably discharged. who had married a woman a citizen of a foreign country wished to bring her to America he could do so if it appeared that the only charge against her was for larceny committed before she reached her majority. and the sentence for which was for less than 3 months. and which crimes had been committed more than 5 years. The exceptions are all made to fit this one individual case. I am glad that somebody had an idea of fairness and wants to repeal this shameful legal monstrosity. So I say. as far as I am able to find out. this bill has no effect on immigration. It does not let down the bars. I reserve the right to say that. although I do not expect to oppose this measure.
