This case differs materially from those which we have been considering in that a strange and unknown man did not participate in the fraud. This alien gained admission to this country by impersonating another man who lived in his native village. but who had been born in Brazil. By thus impersonating Giuseppe Calistro. his neighbor. he secured his visa.- Since Calistro had defective eyesight. he could not secure a visa. so Kovach took Calistros papers and pretended to be Calistro. thus obtaining the visa. Kovach was born in Trieste. which formerly was a part of AustriaHungary. but which has been part of Italy since the World War. This case is included among the hardship cases. as the aliens wife is an American. who has been an orphan since she was 6.
