I cannot yield now. The third aspect deals with deportations. In other words. immigration involves those who come over and the standards under which they enter our country. naturalization deals with citizenship after they get here. and deportation deals with removal from our land when they have violated the tolerances and the good graces of the American people. when they have violated our laws or when they have done those things that. in our judgment. should not admit them into citizenship in this country. The bill that is pending before the House this afternoon deals with the third aspect of this matter. namely. deportation. When you think of deportation you must put aliens into two general classes. First. those who have come into the country legally. Unless they have violated the law in some respect or unless they have projected themselves into a position where they can be deported under existing law. we can do nothing about them. They have been legally admitted in the first instance. They came here under existing law. and so long as their conduct is proper we should be kindly disposed toward i them. The other classification of aliens is composed of those who Illegally came into the country. Everybody knows that under existing law it is a crime to enter this country illegally. and they can be deported if they are found out. their whereabouts ascertained. and they can be apprehended by the immigration authorities. Now. look at the anomalies you have in the law with respect to those who have been legally admitted Into the country. You can deport an alien under existing law who is legally here. for stealing a loaf of bread.
