Let me finish first. please. then I shall be pleased to yield. A great many of these near relatives. a great many of these 4.400 are minors who will be deposited upon the relief rolls of the United States of America. and we have got from now until the 1st day of March to discharge not. a general responsibility but a very personal responsibility. Iam sure I am .at a loss about the matter. even though I happen to be a -member of the Committee on Immigration and Naturaliza-. tion. because I have seen one after another of the bills that have been reported out of that committee die through objection to their consideration when the Consent Calendar was called. It may be interesting for the Members of the House to know that of the 2.862 who will be sent away on the 1st day of March despite any effort that may be made by any .Federal court or any administrative officer. 59 percent have been here. as I recall. for more than 10 years. 34 percent have been here for more than 5 years. and 7 percent have been here under 5 years. It may be interesting. to know alsothat over 1.800 of the 2.862. or substantially 66 percent. have never been on relief. have never been public charges. and have no police records. It may be interesting to know further that 17 percent have had slight relief. and no police records. and only 4 percent have had police records involving minor misdemeanors and no moral turpitude. Through Resolution No. 350. passed on the -23d day of August last year.. we have virtually served notice upon the Commissioner General of Immigration not to deport these people until the Congress of the United States can examine the reports and determine for itself what it is going to do. There is a complete file. there is an individual and personal analysis of every case now filed with the chairman and the clerk of the House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization.
