They are persons who owe allegiance to the Government of the United States. We say that if those persons attempt to come back. if they are turned down by the diplomatic representatives of our country abroad. if they still are able to give a substantial reason why they should be admitted as citizens of the United States. and if the Department of State believes there is a substantial reason for doing so. that person may come to this country for the purpose of bringing an action in court and being heard in this court and having his case appealed if he wants to. At the same time it is with the understanding that if he is turned down he shall be deported from this country. We have a rather new situation here. and that is we are cutting off the claim to citizenship of these thousands of persons under this provision in the bill who do not comply with its terms and therefore it was deemed advisable that some chance be given them to have what might be called their day in court. We have safeguarded the situation extremely carefully and feel that so far as possible we have prevented any abuse of it.
