Speaker. in answer to the statement of the gentleman from California . there are only 180 or 200 bills of this character involving people who have been in this country 15 or 20 years. They have not committed any crime in this country whatever. They were cheated on the other side when they came here. and the Department. as well as the committee. after studying the matter from every angle. found that the Congress should exercise its prerogative in the matter. which we are doingand. I may say to the gentleman. in all fairness. this has nothing to do with the influx of immigration. it has nothing to do with quotas or amending statutory law. These are simply individual cases of relief for people who have been here many years.
