Factors of hardship. good moral character. long residence. and family ties are considered in extending this relief. There is certainly no valid reason for changing the law so as to subject deserving aliens who were legal residents of this country. as well as their families. to severe hardships. Further. the adoption of my amendment would in no way open the door for the admission of undesirable aliens. Such aliens who could receive favorable consideration would have to have been residents of the United States for 7 years. during which time they have committed no acts which would have given grounds for their deportation. Further. aliens applying for consideration under this provision would have to show that they have not relinquished United States domicile. but merely left for a temporary stay abroad. Finally. the Attorney General would have the power to prescribe the conditions under which they would be readmissible to this country.
