Another oddity under existing law is that you can deport a man who violates the Federal narcotic law but you cannot deport him if he violates a State narcotic law. If somebody in Chicago has obtained various kinds of narcotics and peddles them inside the city. you cannot deport him. under existing law. as long as he does not cross the State line and get into interstate commerce. So long as he does not lendhimself to the jurisdiction of the Federal law. he cannot be deported. That is an oddity in existing law that this bill purports to correct. so that anybody who violates a State narcotic law as well as a Federal law can be deported. A word now about the discretionary or permissive authority vested in the Secretary of Labor. I have attempted to see this whole proposition from the standpoint of the ardent restrictionist as well as from the standpoint of those who would liberalize the law.
