Senators may be surprised to learn that displaced persons who have been admitted to this country under the act are giving employment and housing assurances for other displaced persons to come to the United States. These assurances by displaced persons for other displaced persons are readily accepted and validated by the Commission. This situation is made significantly ridiculous by a comparison with our immigration laws. Under the general immigration laws. the sponsor of an immigrant must give a bona fide guaranty and pledge that the immigrant will not become a public charge. and that the sponsor will in fact be responsible for the care. maintenance. and necessities of the immigrant while in the United States. In many instances the sponsor is required to furnish a bond. .running to the Government to secure his guaranty and pledge. What is more. he must establish his financial ability to perform his guaranty beyond a doubt.
