The amendment offered by the gentleman from Alabama would manifestly be an injustice. as pointed out by the gentleman from Illinois. because some person who come here 40 or 50 years ago and before our immigration policy became so strict may have committed some offense immediately after his entry. and under the amendment offered by the gentleman from Alabama. of course. he would be subject to deportation. This would work a tremendous hardship. There is no question about the fact that throughout this country there is a strong sentiment in favor of relief for these hardship cases. I was reading a very strong editorial in one of the New York newspapers this morning right along this line.
