Now. so far as the constitutionality of this bill is concerned. I have no concern. The gentleman from Iowa has stated the constitutional question correctly. I shall not repeat. but do concur in his opinion. The Supreme Court of the United States has repeatedly held that the right to exclude or to expel aliens is an inherent and inalienable right of every sovereign and independent nation. The right of the United States in this regard stands unchallenged. The right to detain an alien subject to deportation is but a necessary incident of the right to exclude or deport that alien.
