I believe that if we declare a certain objective and strive for it. we can rely upon American institutions. through our courts. to impose conviction as a necessary condition precedent to deportation. that we can recodify. so to speak. our existing legislation under which deportations may follow. that we can properly within the limits of House bill 5138. for instance. write a good bill. and surely there are enough lawyers in this body to write a good bill. It has been suggested that there are too many lawyers here now. Mr. President. there are not enough of them if we are going to. overlook the incidence of this type of legislation. It is to those who are not lawyers that I specifically address myself. hoping to call to their attention the iniquity and the vice in principle of this bill.
