Such acts may be excused. perhaps. when the vote in a foreign election was cast in ignorance or from importunings of our Government. Many expatriation cases are presented via private bills. Judgments regarding each individual bill should be understanding and compassionate. I have withheld objection in meritorious cases involving one or two or even three votes in foreign elections. Mrs. Finocchiaro voted in at least 12 foreign elections. however. The recommittal of this bill does not close the door to U.S. citizenship for Mrs. Finocehiaro. The regular immigration process is open to her. Her desire for citizenship can be fulfilled under present law. Therefore. passage of a private bill to setaside the general law seems unjustified.
