That is not unusual. A similar situation often exists in the case of a great many Americans when they live abroad. He committed some minor crime or misdemeanor. and notwithstanding his long residence in this country and his exemplary life. he was ordered deported. It required a private bill. special legislation. to permit that man to remain with his family in this country. My bill covers the difference between naturalized and nativeborn citizens. I point out that naturalized citizens are secondclass citizens. subject to the whims and will of many officials. and subject to many circumstances over which they have little or no control. The bill remedies most of theI do not -say allinequities and inequalities and injustices and cruelties and brutalities of the present McCarranWalter Act. The time is long overdue for some action on that kind of legislation.
