Chairman. I move to strike out the last word of the amendment. and I would like to have the attention of the gentleman from Alabama and the gentleman from Illinois . I think that this particular amendment of the gentleman from Illinois . although I voted against his other amendments. which I think weaken the criminaldeportation section. ought to be adopted. but I would like to ask the two gentlemen if they do not think that what is desired to be accomplished would be better accomplished if they struck out. on line 12. the words "at the time of imposing judgment or passing sentence." so that it would read: If the court sentencing such alien for such crime shall make a recommendation to the Secretary of Labor that such alien shall not be deported in pursuance of this act. Then the court could make it at any time. He could make it in connection with the sentence. and sometimes the court would like to do that for the effect upon other people. or he could make it afterwards.
