Mass. DEAR MR. COSTA: You should be commended for your public campaign on the behalf of those unfortunate PortugueseAmericans who are about to be deported. We sympathize fully with the desperate situation of our fellow immigrants and for their families. You realize that these good people have been misled into sincerely believing that they could remain legally in the United States. Consequently they set out to make America their home by obtaining permanent jobs. buying homes. furniture. and automobiles. and even participating actively in community life. Now they have been told that they are to be deported. Judging from the public reaction expressed in your "Open Line Program" there are many thousands of your listeners whose hearts go out to these people. Certainly this support of so many people will persuade the President and the U.S. Congress to pass legislation that will allow these people to remain in America. their new home. I have confidence that the compassion of the Americans will be extended to these immigrants. Sincerely yours.
