I wish to call the attention of the Senator from Georgia to a provision of the act of February 18. 1931. which is entitled "An act to provide for the deportation of aliens convicted and sentenced for violation of any law regulating traffic in narcotics." I should like to have my position understood by the Senator from Georgia. I am just as much in favor as is he or anyone else of deporting any alien who does not conform to all our laws. I am willing to go that far. I do not think we have any room for an alien who violates any kind of American law. I do not care who he may be. if he is an alien. if he cannot come here and abide by our laws let him go back whence he came. But the point I am getting atand I think it is a serious questionis that we have today in the United States over 460 aliens whom the proper authorities of our country have solemnly adjudged should be deported. and yet they are running loose in this land just as free as any citizen of the United States. and there is no place to which to send them. and nothing to do with them. We cannot even detain them under existing law.
