I do not think that I have the time. but I will say that this bill eliminates the time limit in certain offenses. so that under this lawand that is one of the objections I still havea man may be deported for a minor offenseyes. even for misdemeanors committed 20 or 30 years ago. The gentleman. I take it. is a lawyer. and he knows that in every State in the Union we have a statute of limitation which runs. in most of States. three years. and in some of them five years. which is the time limit within which a man guilty of an offense. even a crime. can be prosecuted. But in this bill we completely eliminate that time limit. aind a man might be deported. as I stated. 10. yes. 20. years after the offense has been committed. That provision in relation to some minor offenses is. I think. cruel. unAmerican. unwise. and unjustifiable. and I feel It should be amended. I favor the deportation of a real criminal at any and all times. but not one guilty of only a minor infraction of law. M . RUTIIElRFORD.
