That is the type that you will deport. while the criminal. the man who commits a crime. you do not touch. The criminals are too smart for all of us. They never convict themselves of a felony. they always convict themselves of a misdemeanor. and we have cases of criminals who have committed as many as 15 or 20 crimes. who have pleaded to misdemeanors. whom under the present law you cannot deport. but the little fellow that crossed the border 10 years ago without paying an $8 head tax. the man who is married to your sister or to mine. honestly married. who has brought up a decent family. under this law will be deported. In June of this year these people have got to be deported. This is the last stand in behalf of the innocent people. and I beg of you. I beg of you gentlemen of the Congress. stop these roll calls. stop this filibuster. and all of these points of order and amendments. I see what is in the mind of my distinguished friend from Ohio . He served notice upon you that he wants you to take the cream off the top of the can. deportation. and forget about the rest of the bill. We have cases in his district and in your district and in all of the districts. Why not extend the hand of mercy to 8.000 citizens who have committed no crime. no wrong? How long are we going to kick this proposition about? We have been playing football here with it now for 6 years. For 6 years these people have been on the edge of deportation. I appeal to you. ladies and gentlemen. in the name of American justice. pass this bill and give these people a happy home. give them peace of mind. let them stay here and become respectable citizens. and let these children keep their fathers. who would be deported If you reject the second section of this bill.
