Under existing law you can deport an alien for violating a Federal narcotic law. but not for violating a State or Territorial narcotic law. Paragraph (4) deals with the smugglers. Under the existing law an alien who has been smuggled into the United States can be deported. but an alien who is engaged in smuggling another alien into the country cannot be deported. The language of that provision is: Knowingly and for gain encouraged. induced. assisted. or aided anyone to enter the United States in violation of law. or on more than one occasion subsequent to the date of the enactment of this act knowingly encouraged. induced. assisted. or aided anyone to enter the United States in violation of law. The purpose of that language was to get the professional smuggler. but to protect the mother or father who might be guilty of writing to a son or some near relative encouraging that son to enter. and who under such law would be subject to deportation. Under that provision. if they did so on more than one occasion they would be subject to deportation. In reference to paragraph (1). I do not think anyone can deny that paragraph makes deportable a large class of criminal aliens not now deportable. I do not see how any restrictionist can oppose that paragraph. It may not go far enough in the minds of some. but. as I said a few moments ago. if we are to have any solution ever of this vexing problem. there must be a spirit of concession. which has been very generously made by the labor organizations in the United States in reference to this bill.
