THE "PAROLE VISAS": Can Iranian Jews — or Jews who fled any country because of persecution, or fear of persecution — secure American "parole visas" outside of the U.S. immigration quota, as do Jews now leaving the Soviet Union? This question is now coming to the forefront in connec- tion with the present situation of the Jews in Iran who live in mortal fear. It is also emerging in connection with the feeling of uneasiness now growing among Jews in Argen- tina, the largest Jewish community in Latin America. "Parole admission" gives the Attorney General un- limited power.to refugees irrespective of the :i admit annual. world-wide immigration quotas of 290,000. The Attorney General also has the authority to issue up to 17,400 "condi- tional entry" visas to any alien who fled a Communist or Communist-dominated country — or any country in the Middle East — because of persecution or fear of persecu- tion, on account of race, religion or political yiews. The difference between "parole visas" and "conditional entry" lies essentially in their relative degree of flexibility. While the Attorney General may admit on parole an un- limited number of aliens without taking into account their national immigration quota, he is limited in "conditional entry" by certain restraints of the definition of the ,term "refugee" and by the fiscal year quota of 17,400. The "condi- tional entry" is for a maximum period of two 'years, after which the entrant must apply for permanent resident status. One must not be under the impression that only those who now leave the Soviet Union are receiving "parole visas." More than 600,000 such visas have been issued to Cuban refugees since 1965. Approximately 140,000 South- east Asians were admitted to the U.S. on "parole visas" in 1975. During the 1956 crisis in Hungary, when thousands fled the country invaded by Moscow's Red Army, some 32,000 were granted admission to the U.S. under "parole visas." BILLS IN CONGRESS: At present, there are three proposals before Congress recommending a redefinition of the term "refugee" and changes in other provision& in the immigration law. They are all more liberal than the pre- sent law. Most responsive to Jewish concerns is the bill by Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), introduced last March. The other two proposals are: a policy statement of Associate Attorney General Michael Egan, -and-a bill introduced by former Rep. Joshua Eilberg (D-Pa.) in 1977. Legislative action is anticipated this summer: The Kennedy bill expands definition of displaced per- sons to include also those uprooted by civil disturbances or military operations. If a Jew were uprooted by such events in Iran, he could be admitted to the U.S. as a displaced person, although there were no persecutions on account of his religion. An Argentine Jew could also be admitted as a refugee or displaced person, since the Kennedy bill deletes geographical limitations to the present definitions of who can be clatsified as a refugee. The Kennedy proposal also urges U\alimited "condi- tional entry." It stipulates, however, that consultations must be held with appropriate House and Senate Commit- tees. Admissions of any large group of Jewish refugees on conditional entry visas would, under the Kennedy bill, be no more difficult than under the present system of `:parole visas." ASYLUM FOR NON-IMMIGRANTS: Never having admitted refugees during the Nazi years, and remembering the shameful and tragic act of not allowing the of 930 German-Jewish refugees who sought escape from Nazi Germany in 1939 on board the ship St. Louis-- the U.S. first turned to the use of special legislative authorization after World War II, when thousands of Jewish survivors of Nazism were clamoring to leave their DP camps. The first legislative enactment was the Displaced Per- • sons Act of 1948, which permitted the entry of 400,000 refugees. It was followed by the Refugee Relief Act of 1953 which brought to this country 214,000 refugees within three years. The parole procedure system was decided upon in 1952 as a flexible tool for dealing with large refugee problems. A new situation is developing now with regard to foreign citizens who were admitted to the United States as students, tourists and other non-immigrants. Thousands of them now seek political asylum here fearing persecutions in their native countries on account of race, religion or political opinion. If granted asylum, such non-immigrants can remain temporarily with their status to be reviewed yearly. They are permitted to work. Abner Mikva Is Named D.C.
