I feel they are interested in drafting a law that will be upheld by the courts. As this section is now drafted there is no question that it is a retroactive provision. because it provides for the punishment of those who have committed offenses. long before the adoption of this act. My amendment provides for the same deportation but for offenses committed by those who have been deported since the adoption of this law or this act. so as to make it lawful. and make it legal. and so the courts will uphold it. . I do not believe it should be the policy of this House to pass laws that are retroactive or exposte facto. laws which the courts have frequently held are void. For thatreason I am hopeful the chairman and the committee will agree to this amendment.
