Under the Displaced Persons Act there was provision for entry of 5.000 orphans. Fewer than 4.000 came. As to the definition of the "resettled refugee." the narrow constructions placed on the words contained in the statute are responsible for the objections raised in that section of the Presidents message. Now. as to waiving the requirement that a person applying for adjustment of status under section 6 of the act. must have bona fide. nonimmigrant. lawful. entry into the United States. do you want to invite ship jumping on a larger scale than exists today? Do you know that there are probably over 500.000 aliens illegally in the United States along the Atlantic seaboard alone?
