Why was it thought advisable to introduce this bill with such a clause? The American people know that the Nation has the inalienable right to expel or -exclude aliens. The courts have said so in innumerable decisions. The Supreme Court has said so with emphasis. The Congress has said so by the enactment of exclusion .and deportation laws. time and time again. and no one denies that right. Has Congress nothing more important to do than repeat undeniable truisms? We had better enact into law one of the many decisions of the Federal courts on the subject than to -invest with the solemnity of law this trite statement.
