I want to give you a case of one who entered this country last on August 12. 1929. She had never been previously in the United States. never on relief. no public charge. The grounds for deportation were that she was a person likely to become a public charge at the time of entry. and she had one or more attacks of insanity prior to her entry. The records of the case disclose that in less than 2 years after she entered this country she was in one of the institutions for treatment of the insane in the State of California. Evidently the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization thinks it would improve the mental status of the citizens of California to permit this alien to remain in the country. What are some of the facts as disclosed by the files in the Department of Labor upon examination there? This woman has an alien husband. He has attempted to become an American citizen and has taken out his first papers since deportation proceedings were started against her. in order to hold her in this country. The superintendent of the hospital where she has been confined has this to say about her. and I quote: Her mental upset was the form of insanity known as manic depressive. She had one attack In Germany prior to her coming to this country.
