I wish to say that it was not deemed ardvisable by the committee to provide that every alien should be deported whom we would not be willing to naturalize and make a citizen of. This bill was drawn in the Treasury Department. and bhas been subjected to very careful scrutiny. It may not go so far as the Senator from Ohio would like to go. but it is an excellent bill. which has been carefully rewritten by the Senator from New York . the chairman of the Committee on Immigration. and there has been inserted by the committee a provision in reference to the writ of habeas corpus. which effectually guards any alien against being deported without all the proceedings which result in the order of deporting being carefully reviewed by a judicial tribunal. The bill is stringent enough for the time. it is sufficiently well guarded. and it is of the highest importance. in the opinion of the committee. that it should be passed without delay and sent to the House of Representatives. where we are assured it can be immediately acted upon.
