Mr. President. on the last call of the calendar I had hoped the Senate would pass the immigration bill which had been reported to the Senate during the last session. I refer to the bill to provide for the deportation of certain aliens. and for other purposes. -------- --------. -- - - -- -- - - The Senator from Georgia informed me there was new legislation in the bill and thab he wanted to look it over before it was passed. Necessarily there had to be some new legislation. because. as I stated at that time. it was a clarifying bill. The point of the bill was the provision allowing those who were desirable from the standpoint of residence and potential citizenship to remain in this country and to give the Department of Labor ample power to send out of the country undesirable aliensand the term "undesirable aliens" is a very broad one. There did not seem to be any objection to the bill when it was reported to the Senate. and I thought that during the period of some 9 months between the last session of the present Congress and this session. if the constituency of any Representatives or Senators had objections to this measure they would naturally. during this long period. have time to take up the matter with them. Since I asked to have -the bill passed the other day. however.
