I submit. is clearly in violation of the terms of the section I have just quoted. in that it does discriminate against "persons" not citizens but within the jurisdiction of the United States. It fails to accord to these "persons" the equal protection of the laws. or. more correctly stated. it deprives them of the same. A citizen of the United States. having suffered imprisonment for a given offense. could not be deported. a "person." not a citizen of the United States. having suffered such imprisonment should not be subjected to further punishment without due process of law. This bill. if passed. would cause that to be done. and would thus be in violation of Article V of the amendments to the Constitution. which provides that no "person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb. * * * nor be deprived of life. liberty. or property without due process of law." I am thus careful. Mr.
