If the gentlemen will only calmly consider such a proposition. the absurdity of these figures will be obvious. I repeat. gentlemen. that if you take the number of ships that arrived from Europe every week since 1924. or even since 1921 or 1923. you will see that any such figure is simply out of the question. and is so exaggerated as to become ridiculous. Now. an alien who arrived prior to the act of July. 1924. is not deportable after five years. except for certain specific causes. Aliens who arrived subsequent to the act of 1924. unlawfully. are subject to deportation. and again I repeat. at the risk of becoming tiresome. the figure does not come anywhere within the 1.000.000 mark. and I say that it is closer to 200.000 than it is to the 1.000.000 mark. Now. gentlemen. the transAtlantic ships average a capacity from 2.000 to 3.000 passengers. I believe there are only very few that will carry 3.000 passengers.
