I want to repeat that if you have any information relative to the violations of law. why not go to the proper Government authorities who are ordered by law to make these investigations that should result in sending people to jail who violate the laws. That is what we appropriate hundreds of thousands of dollars for. and if they do not stop the practices you complain of. then get new officials who will. So far as enacting legislation making it easier for those who have been ordered deported. that is a joke. Who wants to make it soft for aliens who violate our laws? Would you put them up in the best hotels while awaiting deportation? The place for them is in jail until the hour arrives to put them on the ship and send them back to their native country. I would rather spend this $2.000 to send crooked aliens back home rather than to do work that Government officials are charged by law to do. Aliens are being deported by the hundreds monthly. Aliens convicted of felonies must be deported under the law. and just as soon as they serve their time they are being sent back home. The State authorities are cooperating with the Government. I know this to be a fact. I want to say in conclusion that we are operating now under a Presidential order that practically prevents any immigration. Some few people are still coming in. I am willing to vote for a resolution that will stop immigration entirely until the American people out of jobs get jobs. I am not going to vote for this resolution to spend money when you have agencies in the Government for which you appropriate large sums of money to enforce the lawenforcement agents who are supposed to do what this resolution seeks to do. As far as I am concerned.
