This change of authority alone gives cause for suspicion of the purpose of this act. The Attorney Generals office in respect to deporting undesirable aliens. remind one of a slowmotion picture of the Rock of Ages. Under the existing conditions in Europe it is quite likely that any or all of them may become displaced persons after they enter the United States and it will. * be declared that he cannot be returned home because the political situation has changed in his country. So we have him or her as a visiting refugee along with the other millions. Another fact I want to impress upon you is that if one of these visitors marries an American citizen during their stay in this country they cannot be deported. or at least that is the history of the Immigration Department. because they immediately become a hardship case. In the case of children. they are residents of this country for the remainder of their life. I plead with you to give this bill your serious consideration. It is my firm conviction that if it becomes law it will practically nullify all of our immigration laws and permit the free flow of people into this country. a situation that not a single Member of the House wants to support. And just remember the 2 or 3 years of the OWL.
