I want to answer that by saying that in our attempt to support the Constitution of the United States and enforce it. we are not going to write a law that is too drastic for that purpose. That is exactly the trouble now. that the laws by which tite eighteenth amendment is to be enforced are not sufficiently drastic. I am willing to write into this law the provisions of this bill. which to my mind are simply these. that the fundamental principle of this bill is that if an alien violates the eight. eenth amendment to the Constitution. he shall be deported from the United States upon conviction for such crime. and r believe that should be the law. That is what this bill undertakes to do. and its enactment will assist us in upholding the law and preventing its being violated as is now being done. Of what particular benefit is an alien citizen who comes to our country and claims the protection of our flag. who having come here undertakes to tear down the Constitution of our country!
