Permit me to finish. and I believe I can get over to the gentleman what I have in mind. I said that 59 percent of these people had been here over 10 years. and 34 percent of them over 5 years. and by sending these 2.862 people out you are going to disintegrate and dismember a great many families. of whom 4.665 are American citizens at the present time. Now. think of the futility of sending these people out of the country. because if they have kinfolks and families here they can qualify under the quota numbers that run to any country with which the United States has an arrangement under the National Origins Act. and they can get a nonquota status or a preferential quota status and in a years time can be back in the country.
