My objection to this measure is that I do not think it should be presented at this time when it cannot be given careful consideration. It appears that the membership of the committee which reported the resolution is itself divdded upon the question of what the true facts are relating to this matter. The gentleman from Indiana . who is not a member of the committee. who states that he never heard of the resolution until yesterday. believes that he is fully advised. to the effect that all of these persons who are threatened with deportation are heads of families. and that none of them has committed a crime. and that the result of their deportation will bring about the separation of families. The gentleman from Alabama . who is a member of the committee. is equally as strongly convinced that those facts have not been made to appear in the hearings before the Committee on Immigration. and he is impressed with the idea that that committee is not in possession of information to substantiate the facts that are recited in the preamble of this resolution. An effort is being made now in the absence of time for adequate consideration of this measure. to bring it up in the last hours of the session. just as it appears to have been brought up before the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization on the last day of the session in 1934. Why the delay? It appears that a bill has been reported. of which our colleague.
