Mr. Speaker. in 1932 the gentleman from New York . who was then. and is now. Chairman of the Committee on Immigration. brought in here a bill which he had passed. and it was approved May 25. 1932. and became 47 Statute 165. I do not believe 20 Members *of the House understood the measure at that time. because. if they had. I do not think they would have passed it. It seemed innocent and it seemed not at all important. It went to the Senate and they put seven amendments on it and brought it back. and itwas pushed through the House and became law. Under that bill there has been admitted to this country in the last 18 months several noted anarchists. for instance. anarchists like Emma Goldman. who. with Alexander Birkman. back in 1917. we deported after it had cost this Government thousands of dollars to deport them. She was brought back to the United States under that bill. If it hid not been for that bill she would not have been brought back here.
