After placing them in a school in Belgium. she came to this country to continue her medical studies and to support her nieces. She arrived in 1925 as a medical student. She could not obtain employment as a nurse because of her lack of American citizenship. and she is in constant fear of being taken into custody and deported. This is a typical case. Miss Eastman has come in contact with 70 cases of like character. In conclusion let me emphasize that this bill of itself does not grant citizenship to any alien. nor does it of itself initiate any procedure toward citizenship under our naturalization laws. It does. however. enable the beneficiaries of its provisions to secure a status under our immigration laws upon which it will be possible for them to initiate. in their own behalf. the regular procedure under our naturalization laws. later to become citizens. None of the beneficiaries of this bill would acquire any other status than that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
