What interests me is the enforcement of the law concerning aliens. I have not served on the committee having jurisdiction of that subject. and I have never made a special study of the question of immigration or the alien question or the question of deportation. but from the newspapers I have gathered the general idea that for quite a number of years. through all the time we have had a deportation law. there has been virtually no deportation of aliens. certainly not for a number of years. Can the Senator give me any information concerning the number of deportation cases in the past few years? My own judgment is that when aliens violate our lawsand we have laws concerning this matterthey ought to be deported. and I have the general idea. largely derived from the newspapers. that there have not been any deportations. I should like to turn this subject over to a department that would enforce the law.
