Speech #690145666

I venture the statement that a bill coming from the Committee on Agriculture and dealing with livestock would not be considered in this fashion. I therefore protest against this method of forcing through a bill so fundamentally important as dealing with human lives and human liberty without full and complete discussion and without an opportunity to offer for the consideration of this House certain 10867 changes and amendments which some of us. owing to our experience and knowledge of this human question. desire to do. Now. there is no question as to the right and desirability of deporting vicious criminals. The present. law permits that. There is no difference of opinion as to the necessity of deporting vendors of narcotics. The sale of narcotics is a crime today. Deportation of an alien convicted of this crime is provided in the present law. I would go along and was Inclined to go along to provide for the deportation of aliens convicted as in this bill provided for a term of 18 months if. and I say "if." the crimes were specifically enumerated. Unless these crimes are enumerated I see great danger of oppression and the opportunity of the commission of grave Injustice. It would not be a difficult matter to enumerate the crimes.
