I am very glad the gentleman asked the question. because this statement should be made. Members of Congress. almost without exception. for a number of years have manifested very keen interest in an adequate appropriation for this important service to which the gentleman from New York refers. It is after all a mere estimate as to what amount may be required. because it is impossible to tell in advance just the number that should be deported and be ready for deportation. This should be said. however. that no Congress. since I have been a Member. has refused or even hesitated to grant to the Department of Labor every dollar shown to be necessary for deportation purposes. Only a few weeks since Congress approved an additional sum for this purpose. and it was not known until then with any accuracy the approximate numbers that could and should be deported during the months of May and June. 1932. I can give assurance to the gentleman from New York that this service will not suffer from any lack of appropriation for the purposes indicated. If when we meet in December the report indicates that further funds are required for the deportation of aliens unlawfully here. or for any reason subject to deportation. Congress will be willing. as it has been always in the past. to grant adequate appropriations for that purpose.
