I am a trifle disappointed with the bill now under consideration because it is not comprehensive enough. This Congress appropriated $2.600.000 to detect and prosecute persons who commit crimes against the Government of the United States. and at least $600.000 of this amount was made available and placed at the disposal of the Department of. Justice for the purpose of making a full investigation in the matter of undesirable aliens. with a view of deporting them. This appropriation- was all made available for the Department of Justice. while no appropriation was made for the Department of Labor in the matter of detecting and deporting undesirable aliens. Our deportation laws are exceedingly crude and out of date. They are the relics of feudal days. when all power was placed in one man. The immigration officer becomes a detective for the purpose of finding out the wrongs committed by these aliens and then h acts is magistrate to issue his warrant. and after that he acts as a policenmn to arrest the man. and then detective andpoliceman will at once sit as court and jury. and last. but not least. lie will be the executioner. Is it any wonder that most of these people. who are anarchists and who come from Russia. compare a law so much out of date here with Russia? I proposed in the committee an amendment to this bill.
