In traditional American spirit these people have been welcomed into our way of life. The regrettable part is that. officially. most of these people have been admitted only temporarily. Of the 38.000 Hungarians reaching the United States under the Refugee Relief Act. only 6.130 have received immigration visas under the special provisions of that law. The others have been admitted as "parolees" under the provisions of Immigration and Nationality Act. As parolees these Hungarian freedom fighters do not have the right of permanent residence nor the right to apply for citizenship. People who have fought so gallantly for freedom against such overwhelming odds surely deserve the opportunity to find permanent freedom in our land of liberty.
