It is perfectly permissible. therefore. as we have done. to prevent such a person from coming into our midst. or to deport one who has illegally come in. The gentleman is mistaken in his statement that there are none in this country now. In fact. when the Hobbs bill was under consideration I was waited on by a committee. one of whom advanced the only novel argument that I heard during the whole of the discussion with reference to that bill. and it was that anarchists should not be deported. for they were the best people here. They felt that my bill was a measure of religious persecution. because anarchists were the most Christlike people in our body politic. That was the only novel argument made in the discussion.
