Certainly this ought to be done. but we cannot send the gunman out now. Under the terms of section 1 of this bill we can send him out. Why then Spoil it all by adopting another section under the terms of which he is not mandatorily deportable but he can ask amnesty or clemency from Miss Perkins? This provision should be stricken out of the bill and the last paragraph on the last page of the bill should go out also. She ought to be ashamed to come here and ask the Congress to grant her authority to allow anybody under such circumstances to remain in this country. We know how to legislate on immigration. We have been doing this for years. and I want to say to you that the history of the activities of Congress over the last 15 or 20 years in their handling of these important immigration matters is a history replete with a show of fine legislative acumen and fine legislative accomplishments.
