Members who oppose this resolution on the committee are not opposed to the consideration of the socalled "humane cases ". but we do oppose the the nullification of the law by a citizen who is sworn to enforce it and uphold it. If the law is unjust and inhumane. let us repeal it. Your Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization has characterized our immigration laws as being barbarous. inhuman. and unjust. If so. they should be repealed. but neither that gentleman nor you nor I nor any other man or woman who is sworn to uphold the majesty of the law and to enforce and administer its mandates. has a right under his oath and under his conscience to violate that law with impunity and to come before the lawmaking body and ask condonment for a violation of the law. .
