Congressman Cable of Ohio has made a new move to overcome the opposition to his voluntary alien registration bill, by reintroducing his bill with an amendment for legalization of those aliens who entered the United States unlawfully up to July 1, 1924. At present only those aliens who entered unlawfully prior to June 3, 1920 can secure legalization.
The correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learns that Congressman Cable, knowing that the opponents of his registration bill are anxious to obtain an extension for illegal entrants, hit upon this amendment as a bargaining point on which to make a deal with them. That he is willing to do this discloses his anxiety to obtain action on the registration bill, as he is known to be a confirmed restrictionist.
Congressman Cable has also introduced a bill to remove certain disabilities from American women, namely to exempt from the quota husbands of American citizens and also to enable immediate naturalization and temporary admission outside the quota for this purpose of women formerly American citizens who lost their citizenship by marrying an alien prior to September 22, 1922.
