Had he been unfortunate enough to be an alien. he would have been subject to the provisions of this act. I address myself to the gentleman from Alabama as well as to other Members. because the gentleman from Alabama knows to whom I have reference in citing this little instance. For 24 years I was a member of the Committee on Immigration. Section 19 of the Immigration Act and some of the most stringent deportation provisions were written by me and adopted by the Congress. I have favored the deportation of all those aliens who fail to recognize and appreciate the privileges accorded them by our Government. Some people. however. seem to believe that an alien. simply because he is an alien. must be above sin. must be always virtuous. and never make a mistake. Mr.
