Personally I do not believe in making immigration laws in this piecemeal manner. We ought to have general laws which cover the subject adequately. I believe discretion should be lodged in somebodys hands to say when aliens wrongfully in this country should be deported and when they should not be deported for humanitarian reasons. I am perfectly willing to support a bill that will give a board set up in either the Department of Labor or Department of State. or both. the authority to pass on deportation cases and make exceptions to the harsh provisions of the general law when exceptional circumstances warrant it in individual cases.
