They are of all races and religions. This is no particular group of people. As I said before. in all of these fraud cases the immigrants themselves were not guilty of that fraud. Some of our own steamship companies in foreign countries. which received money from them. told them they could get them a visa. and the steamship companies got the visas through an American consul in 1925 and 1926 and gave them those documents with the understanding that they had a right to come to the United States and become citizens. How did the Department get those people? How did they pick them up? All of these people who believed they were legally in the country got married legally and openly. They applied for citizenship papers. and when they were asked when they entered the country. they presented their visas which were issued during that very period. 1925 or 1926. by the consul who was in collusion with the steamship companies. These men and women were simply the victims of circumstances. without committing any crime. Now they have been here 13 years.
