The Mexican Farm Labor Program (Title V. Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended) is amended and extended to December 31, 1963, by the Act of October 3, 1961, (Public Law 87-345). The amendment provides that workers brought in under the program may be made available only for work of a temporary or seasonal nature where they will not operate or maintain certain power-driven self-propelled machinery. Both restrictions may be waived by the Secretary of Labor in specific cases. The Act of September 26, 1961 (Public Law 87-301) amends the Immigration and Nationality Act and provides as follows: An important provision (effective the 30th day after approval) concerns judicial review of orders of deportation and exclusion. For aliens not in Service custody, the new section prescribes an exclusive method for judicial review of final administrative orders of deportation. A petition for review may be filed in the United States Circuit Court having jurisdiction over the alien's place of residence or the place where his hearing before the Speical Inquiry Officer was held. Review by habeas corpus is available any time when the alien is in custody. Final orders of exclusion may be reviewed only by habeas corpus. There is added to the permanent law provisions for the special admission, as nonquota immigrants of alien orphans adopted abroad or coming to the United States for adoption. With regard to adoption abroad there is a requirement that the adopting parents shall have seen the child prior to or during the adoption proceedings. The Attorney General is granted authority to deny a visa petition in behalf of an alleged spouse of a citizen if a previous nonquota or preference status has been granted on the basis of a marriage determined to have been entered into for the purpose of evading the immigration laws. The law deletes references to "race and ethnic classification" in visa applications. It extends to veterans of the Korean hostilities naturalization benefits accorded veterans of World Wars I and II. |
