I wish to say that I have brought this matter to the attention of the Senate for two reasons. The first reason is that my good friend who reported this measure stated that we were trying to deport 2.862 people of good character. and I am bringing the matter before the Senate to show him the facts about the character of one of these 2.862 cases. I today stand upon the floor of the Senate and lay down again unhesitatingly. unblushingly. and unafraid. the challenge I made on yesterday when I said that any man in this body is at liberty to take from the files of the Commissioner of Immigration and bring one case or a hundred cases to the floor of the Senate. and at the same time bring the briefs that were prepared by the Immigration and Naturalization Service which have deceived Senators. I make this challenge because I know that If it is met I shall not have to make expenditure of my energy in trying the case before this duly constituted body. The colleagues of mine who are here. who are just as much interested in protecting America for Americans as am I. will try the case upon this floor.
