Mr. Speaker. I will take three or four minutes to explain this deportation bill. which is a Senate bill. The Senate bill undertook to make it a violation if the person who had been deported returned. and also if certain persons stopped at the gate and attempted to come in without permission. The House by vote added a large number of items. including seven classes. On a careful examination your conferees became convinced that we had not carefully made the distinction between those who should be deported under such conditions and those who might be under other conditions. For instance. if an alien had been in this country five years and one day. and commits a foul murder. he could not be deported under any provisions of the bill passed in this or the other body. We had certain provisions requiring a deportation for a misdemeanor. a six months offense. That would apply to "gun toters. The conferees concluded that such things are out of balance.
