Why. then. extend literacy requirements to victims of religious persecution. and to the close relatives of citizens and resident aliens. though even the present law exempts them? If we are trying to reunite families. what is the idea of making it more difficult to reunite them? Why should a bill authorize the deportation of immigrant brides and bridegrooms who fail to fulfill marital agreements "to the satisfaction of the Attorney General?" What earthly business is that of the Attorney General? Why should naturalized citizens be made subject to denaturalization. at the instigation of any private informer who files an affidavit. for acts which were not grounds for denaturalization when citizenship was acquired? Why should the year 1920 be used as the basis of a code adopted in 1952? If there are any answers to these questions I should like to have some Senator rise and give the answers.
