I thank the Senator very much. I appreciate that promise. Section 2 of the bill is a further limitation upon the power of the court to excuse a person convicted of a crime from the penalty of deportation. At the present time the court itself has the power. as a part of its sentence or within 30 days thereafter. to determine whether the particular person convicted shall be subject to the penalty of deportation. This i amendment provides that that power shall be subject to the . acquiescence and the affirmation of the Commissioner of i Immigration. It extends the time. it is true. from 30 days to 90 days. but. nevertheless. it is a restriction upon the power and tends rather to increase deportations than to decrease them. We come now to section 3. about which there has been the most discussion. It is the section as to which many witnesses appeared.
