I do not want racketeers or smugglers to be permitted to exist in this country. I want to stop smuggling. If the Committee on Rules which now sits here bringing up this rule would grant to the Committee on Immigration a rule for the consideration of a resolution that has been before it for 6 months. something the Committee on Immigration has been begging the Committee on Rules to grant them. smuggling would be stopped. Why do they not report that resolution and give us an opportunity to present definite laws to the Congress that would do something for America besides the alienbaiting propositions we get here day in and day out? What does this bill do? Oh. yes! If a little boy who happens to be an alien should steal an apple worth about a cent and a half. he is guilty of moral turpitude and must be deported. Even the President of the United States could not pardon him. He could be pardoned only by a special act of Congress.
