The legislation before us today. so far as it deals with aliens. will affect only those who are convicted criminals. anarchists. and persons who have been infected with the virus of organizations bent on the destruction of our Government by force and violence. With the enactment of this bill tribunals set up under existing law. with the right of a review of their decisions. will. as heretofore. sit in judgment in deportation cases. If they function in an unlawful. arbitrary. or capricious manner. writs of habeas corpus will accord the alien the protection of our Federal courts. The law of 1798 aroused the resentment of the public. because in it this Government exhibited an unfairness toward the alien.
