Speaker. it is a strange doctrine to me which the gentleman from California preaches when he says that we ought to forgive these men of their crimes in coming into this country in violation of the law and violating the law every day they stay here. He seems to overlook the fact that it has been shown time and again that these aliens committed perjury long after they came here. They came here in flagrant violation of our immigration laws. and then committed the soulkilling crime of perjury in the Federal courts in order to try to become naturalized. Now. are you going to let that kind of riffraff come here and stay? Do you think the American people want to fill this country with that kind of material?
