I appreciate the attitude as expressed by the distinguished gentlenmn from New York . chairman of the Rules Committee. I appreciate his attitude and opinion concerning all of the legislative investigations. The alert and able gentleman from Washington has brought before us the unsatisfactory results in the way of legislative enactment which he has been able to obtain from this body on the subject of deportation of undesirable aliens. When the bill on the census and reapportionment was before this House for debate and vote a number of gentleman. including myself. made every effort to amend that bill. requiring persons of foreign birth to state whether they were naturalized citizens or not. and if not. by what legal right. if any. they were in this country. I am at a loss to understand how any citizen or any Members of this House. or even any alien who is legally here. could make any valid objection to this requirement. Bu&t the amendment was opposed successfully and we did not include it in the bill.
