I am thoroughly in accord with the bill now under consideration. It seems to me if people coming here from foreign countries do not agree with our form of government. they ought to go back without any invitation. but if they will not. we ought to send them back. I think the bill does not go far enough and propose. therefore. to offer an amendment which will provide also for the deportation of criminal aliens. Many of us have tried for some time to obtain adequate laws for the deportation of criminal aliens from this country. The language of the amendment which I shall offer is the language that was included in and approved by the Immigration Committee in the Kerr bill and is taken bodily from that bill. It was one of the provisions of the bill. That bill never went through. because it had in it many other features which many Members thought let down the bars on immigration. There has never been any objection. so far as I know. to the deportation of criminal aliens. That is all I seek to do by this amendment. and the language of the amendment is identical with the language taken from the Kerr bill approved by the Immigration Committee. Mr. Speaker.
