An allen husband married to a citizen wife prior to July 1. 1932. is nonquota. but if married since that date he has a preference status in the quota. but still comes within our class of socalled petition cases. We have two other classes of petition casesminor children of American citizens (who are nonquota) and parents of citizens (who are preferential). In such cases (provided the allens only illegality is illegal entry) we allow the aliens after preexaminations to depart voluntarily to Canada In order to secure an immigration visa. and in such cases only. that is. members of families of American citizens who have only illegal entry against them. The deportation of such aliens. taking them away from their families. breaking up families. seems to us to be unsound economically. provided we can get them legal entry through Canada.
