Mr. President. the bill under consideration. in my opinion. should not be acted upon by the Senate today until other action is taken to strengthen deportation machinery. notwithstanding we have agreed to consider it. There is pending on the calendar a bill reported by the Committee on the Judiciary which deals. to a certain extent. with the issue involved in the pending measure. Last year there were 460 aliens who had been ordered deported from the United States. They had been convicted of conspiracy to violate our narcotic laws. or of other crimes for the commission of which aliens are actually deportable. However. when it comes to deporting them we cannot find any place to which to send them. If we pass this bill. I do not think we would be strengthening the immigration laws. because now. under the act of 1913. the Government has the right to deport any alien convicted of a violation or who admits his connection with the violation of the narcotic laws.
