S. 228) this statement: Detention is a usual feature of every case of arrest on a criminal charge. even when an innocent person is wrongfully accused. But it is not imprisonment in a legal sense. I would agree with the gentleman fully if we could accomplish the purpose. deportation. As a matter of fact. his fears and all the fears that have been expressed are groundless. because not one of these aliens is going to stay in detention 10 minutes before sending a whisper to the consular agent of his home government. "Big boy. I no longer have my fingers crossed. let me out." and out he will come. or he can send Word to his home folk to intervene with their government back home. They talk about the stateless people. Let me answer just a word as to that. The bill reads "or other travel documents." In other words. not only Is it possible to go out under a passport but they can go out under a visitors visa. or under a sailors contract. and stay at home 30 days in any port by reason of working on a boat. and then. if they overstay the 30day limit in the foreign port. they would not be doing a thing more than what they did here. and that is staying illegally. or they can go over under what is known as a travel document. In one of those four ways they can go. and they will begin trying to do it within 20 minutes after they are put in detention. But whether they are able to get out in one of these ways or not. whether I am right or wrong.
