Chairman. this bill may involve detention for life. It may involve a period of 4 years for the present Secretary of Labor and 4 years for the succeeding Secretary of Labor. and all those who follow 4 years each. There is no provision in this bill that the deportee can raise the question and say. "You shall not continue me in confinement for one day longer." This is deprivation. to my mind. without due process. and therefore it is violative of the Constitution. I asked the Labor Department to advise me what countries were refusing to grant these passports. and it might interest you to know that almost every country on the face of the globeand I shall put the names of the countries in the RECORDhave refused to grant passports in certain of these cases. So you are trying to pass a bill here today which will give offense. serious offense. to almost every nation on the face of the globeand why do I say that?
