Chairman. I only desire to state that this amendment is along the line suggested by the distinguished gentleman from Virginia [Mr. Moomn ] and along the lines which I suggested earlier in the day. to the effect that I believe we are entering upon a field that is likely to give rise to complications if we permit a Cabinet officer. situated in Washington. to pass upon the question of deporting people because they may have violated some State law. Now. we have an allcomprehensive national statute. and it is as drastic as most of the State laws now in force. with possibly one or two exceptions. It seems to me that if this deportation provision in reference to the prohibition act be included in the law. we might well confine it to violations of the Federal statutes.
