Mr. Speaker. the amendment is not germane to the bill in question. Secondly. it covers certain laws and sections and amends laws going back to 1916. 1917. 1918. 1924. 1926. 1930. and 1932. We could not possibly. by any means of calculation. even assuming we desire these amendments. in good conscience and properly and in fairness to the departments and the Government. write into this bill almost a new immigration act. The Committee on Immigration not only provided for the deportation of criminal aliens. but also it has provided relief for deserving aliens who technically may not be by right in the United States. because they had not paid a head tax of $8 several years ago.
