Mr. Speaker. as a member of the Immigration and Naturalization Committee. I have listened to the testimony in connection with all the cases included in this bill. I think I make a safe and sane statement when I say that the worst that can be said about any of these cases is that he or she may have been the willinj victims of a fraudulent racket in the issuance of fraudulent visas under the name and guise of an agent of the American Government. I think it is safe to make that statement. There are extenuating circumstances in connection with each of these cases. In some cases there are more extenuating circumstances than in others. but in each case the circumstances warrant that Justice be tempered with mercy in the consideration of the individual cases. In every one of the cases the people have been here long enough to have been rooted into our American soil and into our American customs in a business and family way. It would be a great hardship to deport them and every single one of them is subject to deportation. That is the thing we must consider in acting upon these individual cases. Mr.
