INS Building testimony
In the 1930s and 1940s, the Labor Department, under the guidance of Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, worked to create procedures to "legalize the status of certain illegal immigrants." This "pre-examination" procedure was two-fold and involved the secretary giving the illegal alien a waiver from deportation, and then having him or her leave for Canada and then reenter as a legal permanent resident.
