I do not so believe in upholding the majesty of the law. however. as to believe it is necessary in this country with our background. with our associations. our origins. our beginnings. that the majesty of the law must be upheld at the cost of breaking up 2.600 families. What are the facts. what is the record? There has not been any substantial dispute here that there are 2.600 cases. perhaps. technically subject to deportation unless this resolution is passed. and 2.600 cases which are meritorious ones. The complaint here. the objection to the passage of this resolution. is that there has been some failure on the part of some officers of this Government. perhaps on the part of this Congress. to enact the proper kind of legislation to dispose of these cases. Must this sin. this failure. this omission. be visited upon innocent mothers. wives. boys. and girls?
