STAFFORD. Let me proceed. and I will get the gentlemans question afterwards. This is wht we are attempting: to amend as found on the first page of. the report. lPermit. me to read it: That aliens of the following classes. in addition to those for whose expulsion from the United Statecs provision is made in the existing law. shtll. upon the warrant of. the Secretary of Iabo.r.. be taken into hbjs: custody and deported in the manner provided in sections 19 aad 20 of the act of February 5. 1917. entitled "An act to regulate tile imnmigratiol of aliens to. and the resldence of aliens in. the United States." if the Secretary of Labor. after hearing. finds that such aliens are u-. desirable residents of the United States. Then it enumerates various offenses. mostly offenses. involving a violation of war acts. which are a dead letter today. and now it is proposed to add as a new. section to that act paragraph 4 of this bill. Under section 19 of the socalled Burnett Act. the act of February 5. 1917.. which you will. find printed at the bottom of page 2 aml most of page 3. the power ofthe Secretary of Labor hars to deport aliens who have been convicted of crime involving moral turpitude withif five years after the entry of the alien into Ilie United States. or who. has been. sentenced more than. once to a term ofimprisonment because of a crime involving moral turpitude.
