No limit as to number. If this bill should become a law. this committee will be composed of subservient clerks. and we will have the spectacle of a committee of irresponsible clerks handling this great and vital matter with the real administrators hiding behind its skirts. If Congress wishes to take the responsibility for the enforcement of our immigration laws away from the Secretary of Labor. it should create an immigration court composed of a definite number of judges to be appointed by the President. by and with the consent of the Senate. Fix their compensation. Define its jurisdiction and remove its members out from under the influence of politics. This bill should not become a law. It is my sincere belief that there Is no real need for such legislation. that the laws already on our statute books provide ample authority for the deportation of the undesirable aliens in our midst. after they are once apprehended. The one thing needed is a mandatory registration law for all aliens in this country. This for the purpose of enabling immigration officers to locate those who have no right to be and remain here. This bill is an obvious attempt to broaden the authority of an executive who is irking under the necessity of enforcing the laws as they now stand.
