State Department officials haveI
reported that there is wholesale
fraud being worked in Europe,
over immigration of DPS to this
country. Farmers were preferred
in the present law, because the
need here for farm labor is great.
but IL is reliably reported that
many DPS who have never been
on farm are being classified as
farmers, and sent on their way
destination often the Bronx, or
Brooklyn.
The people selecting the DPS
to come here are. for the most
part, not Americans. The DIP
Commission solicitors are de
terminIng eligibilities and CLASH
fication without ever interview
ing the DPS over there. This,
certainly. is cardinal viola
