Speech #710221227

Mr. Speaker. under leave to extend my remarks on the proposed border patrol act of 1930 which is planned for consideration on the floor of the House in the near future. I register my earnest opposition to certain sections of the bill. After serious study of this bill. H. R. 11204. a bill to regulate entry of persons into the United States and to establish a border patrol in the Coast Guard. and for other purposes. which. when reported out of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. was cited as the "border patrol act of 1930." I find certain "jokers." I believe that dangers and startling changes will be made in existing laws and great injury done to thousands of innocent American citizens if the bill in its present form is enacted into law. I believe the measure is loaded with dynamite and that It repeals wise provisions of the navigation laws. From talking with members of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee and of the House Rules Committee.
