Th exercise of lhese pulic t rusts is not the subject of barter or contract. Mr. (1lltian. every year we aire tleporting alielts. The present imtigration law. and the law that has been ii existence for yelrs. pettillts tte deportation of uill alien who lis becolme a public charge within an certain time. and we cin do that llnder the pretsent law at :illy time before they have been here live years. ]f they beconle public clarges for antY matter that occurred bfotre they cattle ilto this country. we have that right and. -its 1 said a ttotlentt tgo. It: is inherent in sovereignty to deport ulesirable aliens at any time. This bill does not contravenle the treaty with Italy or witlh aty othler country which says there slall be no comnpulsory military service. This bill puts the matter up to the alien. It says. " If you claim exemption willie your neighbors. American and natuuilizel boys. atre going to light for the very existence of yonr outiitlries. you are undesirable aliens. and sovereignty will exercise its right of deportation." The bill futher s4ays thlat such a man shall Ite forever barred the right of booinitg anl American citizen. My good friend upon tile committee. Judge SABAT] r. has suggested an antendment which strikes me as being fair nnd right. which lie will offer. and that. is to give these people 60 days in wliich. after the passage of tlis ltw. they may voluntarily leave the country.
