I have been told about people coming to this country by plane from Norway. for example. After the plane lands. the last persons to be given customs examination by this Government are the aliens on the plane. In other words. a Norwegian. for example. may be traveling to this country with his brother. who is a naturalized American citizen of Norwegian birth. These two men may be traveling together from Oslo to New York. When they get off the plane at the United States port of entry. they are separated. They may not have seen each other for 20 years. and they are very happy to be together again. and they want to use every minute of their time for conversation. Yet our Government says to the naturalized American citizen of Norwegian birth. "You cannot come first in the customs line. Native American citizens come first. You go in the second line for American citizens." That mans brother. who is a native and citizen of Norway. is told that he will have to wait until the end.
