I will say that many aliens are arrested. they have no one to intercede for them. they have no influence. and when they are arrested they are fined. Oi the other hand. the influential citizens. in the gentlemans State of Georgia. or any other State. do the same thing. they make it. they sell it. they consume it. to a much greater extent than many of the aliens. but they very seldom are convicted or even arrested. What I want to bring home to you is that we have very stringent provisions in the present deportation act which provides for the deportation of aliens committing any kind of an offense. whether it is violation of the Volstead Act or whether it is larceny. robbery. or any other offense or crime. Now. why should we have a special provision in the act applicable to those who happen to violate the Volstead Act. a thing which has been made illegal only a few years and which up to the time before hysteria had taken possession of our legislative bodies. was recognized to be legal all over the United States. Lo and behold. today we must have a special law which must be much stronger than the law which applies to a man guilty of robbery. larceny. or any kind of a real crime against the laws of the States.
