Mr. President. I expect to vote for this bill. but I shall vote for it with the consciousness that we are merely adding a list of persons who may become deportable without providing a means of taking care of and enforcing their deportation. and that we are turning loose upon this Nation. under warrant of deportation. men who cannot under existing law and existing arrangements be deported. The Senator from North Carolina -a man who has given a great deal of thought to this questionhas said that this Nation has not made the proper attempt to persuade foreign countries to grant passports or to take back the persons whom we have found deportable. I do not know about that. but I assume that the Department of Labor and the immigration authorities. under the judgments of the courts of this Nation. have exerted every influence they can. I do not know what the solution of the problem is. I come from a portion of the country where. fortunately. we have very few. if any. men who may be subject to deportation. I do not know what the answer is. but I am convinced that this is a problem to which the Senate should give serious consideration. and that we should not continue to create additional classes of men subject to deportation without providing a means of sustaining the sovereignty of this Nation and actually deporting them.
