Congress will probably permit the bride to enter anyway. I do not think we should be in the position of inviting people to disregard the law by this kind of encouragement. It seems to me there is a distinction between waiving an existing bar of the law on behalf of people who may not have been aware at the time of their marriage that there was such a bar and the case where people go forward with a marriage. having full knowledge that a disability exists that will prevent the foreign bride from coming to the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act. As I said at the outset. I will not object to the pending bill. nor to Calendar No. 1304. but I do believe that the Judiciary Committee and the Senate should consider carefully the dangers involved in pursuing the practice of passing bills of this character.
