Mr. Speaker. there is not a member of the Committee on Immigration who does not know it to be a fact that Commissioner MacCormack. when he appeared before the committee and when asked If the President had seen these bills and had supported them. said he had not. If the hearings were printed they would show tbit the President had not stated that he supported these bills. and had not read these bills. and this effort to jam legislation through Congress by saying the President has read it and is for it. when there is no competent evidence to that effect. I resent. When any man tells you that this bill does not liberalize the deportation laws he does not know what he is talking about. They have 575 aliens subject to deportation held up right now whom they intend not to deport if this bill is passed. The Department of Labor knows it liberalizes deportation. because it gives to the Secretary of Labor the discretion to say that all these cases shall not be deported. Read the bill. starting with section 3. it says so on its facethat if the Secretary of Labor does not want to deport them in these numerous cases. she need not. although every one of them now is subject to deportation. I challenge the majority leader. or anyone else. to prove that the President of the United States has read this bill and is for it.
