We went over them time and again. Several pieces must have been broken out of the comb. however. because the Department missed more than they found. They must have been working very late at night. they must have been so sleepy and tired that they could not see the record. because here is what my eyes revealed in the morning light as to George Gaston Grenier: The files of the Immigration Service show that Grenier entered the country illegally in 1926. He violated the law in coming into this country. He had no respect for the immigration laws of our country. and nobody else has respect for them. We might just as well understand that at this time. Nobody has any respect for our immigration laws. because aliens come in here every year by the thousands upon thousands in violation of our laws. in disrespect of our laws. and I do not wonder that that is a fact. Why should they have any respect for our laws? Why should the aliens who are slipping into our country every day. overnight. have any respect for the immigration laws of the country. when our own Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization has no respect for the laws we have made? I say that because the Department officials. out of ill respect and disrespect for our laws. have taken it upon themselves to hold in this country persons who have been declared mandatorily deportable.
