Gentlemen. do you realize that the deportation laws are as out of date as the oxcart is out of date on a modern farm? Our deportation laws are so near like the laws of Russia that the Russian immigrant can not tell the difference. The first man these aliens meet is the immigration officer at the port of entrance.

I know of a little girl who came to this country from Bohemia with her own parents. and because she had inproper relations with a young man in this country the father and mother of the boy. in order to protect the good family name and keep him from marrying the young girl. solicited the immigration officer to swear out an affidavit against her and take action to have her deported. A writ of habeas corpus was the only thing that saved that little girl from being sent away from her people in America back to strangers in Bohemia. When I interested myself in an attempt to see that justice was done. the imnigration officer frankly admitted. "My job depends upon the number of. cases that I can make out." When one of our citizens can. violate the chastity of an alien girl and have her sent away from her own parents on that account in order to protect himself it is high time that we change the administration of the law.
