We did not compel them to come here. We do not have to have them. and if they do not comply with our laws we are not going to have them. The gentleman from Alabama 1 gives you a most pathetic picture of some man who has lived here for 50 years being deported to a country whose very language has grown strange to him. deported because lie commits some trifling violation of law. In the first place. it is perfectly nonsensical to suppose that anyone is going to be deported for a trivial or a merely technical violation. This bill is intended to reach the criminal profiteer in vice and poison. and it will be so applied. But let us examine the gentlemans argument a little. .Hle says that the minute a man lands in this country the flag covers him and the Constitution protects him.
