I am inclined to believe that some of these people should be allowed to stay here. I have had some rather touching letters from some of these people and I can understand their feelings and their human reactions. and I have sympathy with them. but I contend it is a matter for the House to pass upon. and all the facts should be given to the Members of the House to the end that they may intelligently pass upon the question. Many of these people in their hearings asked that the order of deportation be waived. Why? They said. "We will voluntarily leave this country in order that we may reenter from some country which has a quota. in some cases as the wife of a man who is a citizen of the United States. to whom they were married.
