That applies to diseased persons. Innocent persons who have not been guilty of a blessed thing except seeking to flee persecution and the tortures of naziismthat is the only wrong. if You can call it such. many of them have been guilty ofwho have used every means at their command to enter this country. which you and I would do under similar circumstances. are going to be placed in a camp. a concentration camp. Section 402 gives further discretionary power to the Attorney General that he can change a nonimmigrant status to an immigrant permanent status if there is reason to believe that the immigrant would be subject to political. racial. or religious persecution were he to return to the country of his nativity. citizenship. or last permanent residence. I know beyond peradventure of doubt that if numbers of these persons were to be sent hence they would be subject to persecutions. to the tortures of the damned. Those innocent persons are doing no harm here. and they should have conferred on them some sort of legality.
