Our concern for the individual in our country requires that we consider several additional problems. We must continue the program to help our Indian citizens improve their lot and make their full contribution to national life. Two years ago I advised the Congress of injustices under existing immigration laws. Through humane administration. the Department of Justice is doing what it legally can to alleviate hardships. Clearance of aliens before arrival has been initiated. and except fdr criminal offenders. the imprisonment of aliens awaiting admission or deportation has been stopped. Certain provisions of law. however. have the effect of compelling action in respect to aliens which are inequitable in some instances and discriminatory in others. These provisions should be corrected in this session of the Congress.
