The purpose of that amendment is just simply to remove tile time limit to felons who come here as felons and who were convicted oit the other side. They have no right to enter. but many of them. as stated by the comutissioner..slip in. and under the law now. the fiveyear limit. or the threeyear limit under the present bill. would prevent a deportation of a man who cormmitted murder or any other crime involving moral turpitude on the other side. Now. we all believe. as I said a moment ago. that while the trime is committed on this side there ought to be some time limit. Yet a man has come in. perhaps. surreptitiously in violation of the law. and that excludes him as a criminal. and there ought to be no time limit as to his exclusion as a criminal.
