There was not even a pretense of legality under the law of any nation or the law of nations. The status of General Wessin in the United States is a tenuous one. From the press reports. it would appear that General Wessin was brought into this country prior to the issuance to him. or for him. of any passport or visa. It would appear that a diplomatic visa. if one had been subsequently issued. would have been in order had General Wessin accepted the post of Consul in Miami. This was invalidated. if it ever existed. by his refusal to accept the post. Under the circumstances. it would appear that he is subject to a deportation action by the U.S. Government. should the U.S. Government decide to initiate a deportation procedure. The amendment which I offer would prevent any deportation of General Wessin. or any person in similar circumstances. upon a showing by them that they had been brought involuntarily into the United States by the U.S. Government or its agents. This amendment would in no way. of course. prevent General Wessin. or other persons similarly situated. from departing voluntarily from the United States.
