In dealing with the alien we ought. in the exercise of our powers as a monarchy. to put into action as much of the traditional method of justice of America as we call. In section 19 of the bill I find section D under the terms of which he is to be tried. He is to be tried before an immigration Inspector on any number of charges as described in the bill. The bill does not provide that the alien shall have the right to subpoena a witness. it does not provide that he has the right to crossexamine the person who accuses him. it does not provide for a public hearing. it does not provide for a geographical jurisdiction or district for an inspector who holds a hearing. and it does not provide the right of counsel. All these safeguards we give to our citizens in every section of the Vnited States whenever even five minutes of their liberty or five cents of their property is involved. But these rights are not granted to the alien in the deportation procedure provided in this bill. and from my standpoint there is no justification for such a policy. I am in favor of deporting the alien criminal. He should be speedily put out of the country. 1 want to see him convicted by a court and automatically deported. The people of my district are anxious to see the disorderly alien. the alien that is a menace to the United States. put out. I represent a district where there are many aliens.
