Apparently he desires to avoid the long delays that will be occasioned by a trial and to give the Secretary of Labor the right to deport immediately if. in his discretion. he deems it wise. When that was first suggested In the general debate I said that I would give It consideration. because it struck me with a good deal of favor. but since that I have conferred with the attorney representing the Department of Labor. and he says that that Is already their practice. and that there is nothing in the bill that will prevent that action if they get hold of the man first. If the courts get control of a man first. of course the Secretary of Labor would not desire and ought not to be permitted to take him away from the courts. because if the man is found guilty deportation will follow. But they tell me that it is a frequent practice to deport a man h1nmediately instead of waiting for the action of the courts.
