I yield myself two minutes. Answering the question. I would state that in all the time that the United States has received immigration it has never had sufficient deportations to protect the United States. In 10 years time the total deportations of the United States for all causes have been only a few over 30.000. We go about and gather people up after they are convicted and sentenced for certain abhorrent crimes. such as the violation of the Mann Act. we take them out of the poorhouses as public charges and send them back to the country whence they came. and yet we have been sitting here quietly for several years permitting them notoriously to violate our narcotic act by the peddling of dangerous drugs and to seduce and ruin our people. and now that we have a prohibition act we slould try to have it enforced and should punish aliens who will not live up to it. even to the point of deportation if repeated violation makes such aliens undesirable as residents.
