It is a satisfactory answer to myself. and now I want to show you about deportations. I am reading from page 88 of the hearings on the Department of Labor for the 1936 appropriation bill. Mr. MacCormack says: We have stayed deportation in approximately 1.200 cases of persons of good character who would be the beneficiaries of the legislation if enacted. He means the bill he is expecting Chairman DICKSTEIN to pass. That is one I stopped. I want him to deport those 1.200 aliens. That is why I stopped his bill. He is counting on the gentleman from New York to pass a bill to back him up in his arbitrarily refusing to deport 1.200 aliens who should be deported. I am here to tell him that he ought to obey the law as now written. and when the law required these 1.200 aliens to be deported. he ought to have deported them and not take the chance of the gentleman from New York passing a bill interfering with ithe ought to deport them. Now. I did not start this debate. It was started by the gentleman from New York. I was going to talk about the war bill. but the gentleman from New York challenged me to debate. and whenever anybody challenges me to debate they get something started. I want to tell the gentleman that there are a lot of people in New York back of me who want to stop immigration. The American Federation of Labor wants immigration stopped. The Daughters of the American Revolution want immigration stopped. Are they patriotic?
