The bill as a whole is vicious and should be defeated. % Section 1 relates to subjects covered in whole or in part by statutes. This section is intended to convey the impression that the present laws are grossly inadequate to meet conditions. The truth is that if the law extends the authority to cover violations of State narcotic laws and for carrying concealed weapons. etc.. as provided for in this section. the increase in the number deported would be negligible. Section 2 refers principally to the right of Judges to prevent deportation. The judges already have this right. but seldom exercise it. From my 10 years experience in deciding Immigration cases. I know that this right was exercised in so few cases as to present no administrative problem. The only purpose I can see in the proposed provisions in this bill is to give time to those interested in the deportable alien to intercede in behalf of the alien and in this wa thwart the deportation order. Section 3 is very cleverly designed to create a further loophole in our restrictive immigration laws. The request is based upon the muchabused use of the slogan "to relieve unusual hardship cases." The responsibility for the enforcement of our immigation laws now rests squarely upon the shoulders of the Secretary of Labor. a high and responsible official of our Government. This is as it should be.
