Wrong-Way Flight By Czech Puzzles Immigration Officials
New York—(UP)—Immigration authorities at United States international airports are stuck with a problem: what to do with aliens who land in the United States, through no fault of their own, but without visas or passports.
within two weeks at least 29 aliens arrived at La Guardia airpor
without papers because planes on which they were flying to Canada by way of Newfoundland by-passed Gander, the regular Newfoundland and overseas flights. All three of the aliens were sent to Ellis island.
When rain and fog made landing at Gander too hazardous, pilots fly directly to New York.
Take the case of the short, middle-aged Czechoslovakian business man who planned to go to Toronto from Gander for a two-months' business trip.
Because of weather, he landed in New York and immigration officials at the airport ordered him detained at Ellis Island. The law provides that an alien must have a valid visa, a passport or a limited entry certificate, or in lieu of them, a special waiver from the State Department.
Like any traveler in a foreign country, the Czech was a little confused. First, he was worried about what his government would think of his coming to the United States instead of going to Canada. He had even asked the captain of the plane to give him a note to the effect that he had landed in New York against his will. But that is not among a pilot's chores.
Secondly, he thought that since he was in New York and had friends here, he should be permitted to spend a couple of days in the United States before going to Toronto. He did not understand that his detention meant going to Ellis island.
So he wandered out into customs and wound up paying $121 duty on the costume jewelry he decided to buy, which friends instead of to Canadian friends.
Meanwhile, the airline was trying to stay his detention and get him to Gander. The State Department said its hands were tied unless the alien or immigration officers requested the waiver.
Under the circumstances, customs officials refunded his $121 and bonded his luggage until he left the country some 36 hours late. A special board of inquiry had sent him on his way.
