Mr. Speaker. under section 2 of the bill under consideration. the Secretary of Labor shall be authorized and directed to institute deportation proceedings against certain persons engaged in unlawful practices. My amendment goes a step further on the same subject of deportation and provides that those people who have already violated the law and have been convicted shall be subjected to deportation just as much as those people who. while they advocate unlawful things. have never been convicted. It seems to me that so far as the question of germaneness is concerned. the purpose of this bill under section 2 and the purpose of section 4 which I have offered are identically the samefor the deportation of criminal aliens. Section 2 of the present bill provides for the deportation of those criminal aliens who never have been convicted of the crime for which they are being deported. My amendment provides for the deportation of those people and only those who have been convicted. It seems to me that the two questions are on all fours. and that my amendment is germane to the bill.
