Mr. Chairman. I was amazed and greatly disappointed at the attitude of our deportation officials which came to my attention at the last session of Congress. They admitted before the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization that there were several thousand aliens in this country that had no legal right to be here. They further admitted before the committee that they were making no effort whatever to get them out of this country. and this admission. Mr. Chairman. in the very face of the law requiring their action in deporting them. I am confident. therefore. that we cannot hope to expect the deportation of many aliens under the present personnel of the Department of Labor unless their attitude should greatly change. and that about the best we can hope for is legislation prohibiting the employment of aliens in this country. I appeal to every Member of Congress to give this matter careful thought so that the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. as well as the Department of Labor. may know of our sympathetic attitude toward legislation that will protect and preserve the jobs in America for American citizens. as well as action in deporting foreigners who are in this country unlawfully.
