A woman born in Scotland came here under the quota number of her sister. She signed an affidavit that she was her sister. After coming here she married a naturalized American citizen. When he learned the circumstances surrounding her entry he voluntarily revealed the facts to the immigration authorities. She has three children born here. the oldest about 3 years of age. Under the provisions of this bill she would get no relief because of the mere fact that she signed an affidavit. The warrant for her deportation specifically sets forth that she has been guilty of a crime involving moral turpitude. The Department of Labor informs me that none of these cases would be eligible for the discretionary authority given to the Secretary of Labor under the provisions of this bill. I think that is something which you. who are of the opinion that these cases in which you are personally interested would be covered by this bill. should know.
