The bill seeks to make lawful by an enactment of the Congress that which for years has been illegal and unlawful. The bill would encourage those beyond our shores to come to America. It would encourage aliens from all over the world to violate the immigration laws of the United States. If we legalize that which is now illegal. if we permit to stay in this country aliens who are here illegally. who have violated the law every day they have remained here illegally. then we will encourage Immigrants from every part of the world to say. "What do we care about the laws of America? We can go there and slip in and kill anybody we want to or kidnap anybody we want to and get away with it. America has already said it is all right for anybody to steal into the country. to perjure himself into the country. or to enter the country in any other illegal manner. such as by the purchase of passports. and the like.
