Mr. Speaker. this item and all these titles are designed for two purposes. The first is to cancel an order of deportation that has already been issued and declare that the alien in question has been lawfully admitted for permanent residence. I do not propose by my amendment to disturb that part of the bill except to strike out the word "lawfully" so that the purport of the bill will be that this alien shall hereafter be deemed to have been admitted to the United States for permanent residence. but not lawfully. It is ridiculous to pass a law declaring an aliens entry into the United States to be lawful when everyone concedes the opposite to be true.
