The next refers to criminals and the next one to immoral cases and the next one to violators of the narcotic law. These are four classes of aliens that the Judiciary Committee has considered with respect to this bill. I am agreeing with the gentleman that the men who sell narcotics or the criminals referred to ought to be deported or disposed of in some way or other. but you are approaching the thing from a bad angle in our form of a democracy. You are taking men who have been out of prison for 20 years. who have paid the penalty to the State. who are no longer criminals and have not been for the past 20 years. who are married to American women and have fine American children. and under this bill you are making the law retroactive for 20 years or more when this mans country or the country in which he was born is no longer in existence. and through no fault of his own he cannot get a passport. and yet you are going to throw him into this camp and keep him there for a lifetime. Is that going to justify the ends of this bill?
