Mr. President. in the commission of a crime our laws have always recognized some distinction between an alien who is not a citizen and one who is a citizen of the United States. We have statutes providing for the deportation of aliens who are guilty of porstitution. or other crimes involving moral turpitude. Those same laws. of course. do not apply to citizens of the United States. I assume that the reason for the incorporation of section 3 into the bill was to avoid the expense which might accrue to taxpayers of the United States who are citizens of the United States. in maintaining at an expensive institution for a long period of time an alien who is a drug addict. He is only deported. however. after a legal proceeding by which he is judicially committed to an institution as a drug addict.
