The bill refers to criminal aliens. and I say we already have laws to deal with them. The bill refers to certain types of immoral persons. and we have laws to deal with them. The present bill is inconsistent with at least a dozen different sections of the immigration law. Three of the sections of this bill are absolutely in contradiction of laws the Congress has placed on the statute books of this country. The committee has overlooked that. Why? Because. I believe. the committee is not familiar with the present status of the immigration law that has been in effect since 1917. I submit that if we want to be constructive and help our country to get rid of these criminals we should do it in another way. Let us do it in an orderly way. I have a resolution before the Rules Committee today. the socalled Schulte resolution. that would give this committee the right to study this whole problem. This problem has not been touched in 31 years. The Committee on Immigration and Naturalization has been struggling almost constantly to solve all these various problems that we should solve. but without notice to the Committee on Immigration the bill is taken into the Committee on the Judiciary. Why?
