These people have committed no offense against our criminal laws. They came across the border years ago. when records were not accurately kept. Some clerk when making the records of many of them recorded their entry in such a way that their names were misspelled. and then when they presented themselves to the proper authorities asking for naturalization they found that their records of entry in their correct names were not there. and they became technically subject to deportation. For instance. if my friend the last speaker. whose name is EKWALL. had been put down as Eckell. then when Mr. EKWALL presented himself for naturalization they would have arrested him because his name was not properly recorded in the register. and he would be deportable on the grounds of illegal entry into the United States.
