President. the resolution which has been submitted in the House and in the Senate. and which we now have under discussion. proposes to permit more than 3.000 aliens who have violated the laws of this country. and who have come into this country in violation of the law. to remain in the United States. A large number of those 3.000 aliens have been permitted to remain here in violation of the law. We do not need any more immigration laws at this time. and if this resolution should be adopted. it would merely be the granting of permission to the Secretary of Labor and to the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization to allow these aliens to remain in this country. Why. therefore. do they desire to have this resolution agreed to? They want it agreed to so that they may say. "The great Congress of the United States has placed its stamp of approval upon that which we have been doing." And what has the Government been doing? It has been violating the laws of the United States by refusing for 3 long years3 long years -to deport these aliens who were mandatorially deportable under the law. They have been described. They have been referred to as "hardship cases." Now. let us find out something about some of those hardship cases. and ascertain whether I am not sympathetic.
