I think the gentleman will find that in the bill. Then there is another class of aliens with which we have been dealing heretofore. I refer to immigrants who approach the border. are detected. and then ordered deported. If such immigrants have been rejected at the border. they can attempt to enter and reenter repeatedly. subjecting themselves to no inconvenience except being pushed back across the border. We have inserted in this bill a provision providing for their punishment in case they attempt to reenter the country or to enter it in any manner illegally. If an adequate force is provided to intercept these who enter the country illicitly. and they are carried into the courts and punished for their efforts to disregard the immigration laws. that will have a very beneficial and helpful effect in procuring a better enforcement of the law. There are many features of the measure which 1 would like to discuss with the House at length. However. an adequate discussion of them would require much more time than any of us can take under the circumstances here.
