Mr. Chairman. it is certainly with a great deal of reluctance that I find myself in opposition to the chairman of my committee on this piece of proposed legislation. I recognize the human appeal expressed so eloquently by the gentlewoman from New York . but in these immigration matters we have got to disregard human appeal and get down to brass tacks. if we ever expect to relieve this country of the undesirable alien element. This resolution concerns about 2.600 or 2.700 aliens who are in this country in violation of our immigration law. The Labor Department could have deported these aliens heretofore. but it seems they are trying to shift the responsibility. in other words. trying to pass the buck to the Congress.
