We can not describe bombs and hatchets and the sigof bombs. and all that sort of thing. in respect of the enactment of a bill to apply to persons who have been convicted. We use the words "explosive bombs." The courts will take care of the description according to State laws. This language is the key to the bill: That the following aliens shall. upon warrant of the Secretary of Labor. be taken into custody and deported in the manner provided In sections 19 and 20 of the immigration act of 1917 (U. S. C. title 8. secs. 155. 156). If the Secretary of Labor. after hearing. finds that such aliens are undesirable residents of the United States. Now. gentlemen must understand that sections 19 and 20 of the basic immigration act of 1917 still stand. providing for deportation. and that every alien may have a lawyer and have a defense. That applies to two or three classes nowthe procurer type and one or two others. This bill extends it to the narcotic type. the narcotic peddler. and also to those who would smuggle and harbor aliens. I think that makes it clear. They have the process and opportunity of defense. and in addition I want to say that all cases of deportation not mentioned in this particular act remain in the law of 1917.
