The precedent that would be established by the passage of this bill would be detrimental to the general welfare of every citizen. As an American. I will not. for the sake of my own liberty. deny the protection of uniform and indiscriminatory laws. and of fair hearings to any other person. For the sake of argument. I am willing to concede that the person named in this bill is an undesirable person and should be deported. However. in our desire to deport one man. do not let us do violence to a precious heritagethe Bill of Rights! The sound timbers with which the Ship of State was built were shrewdly and wisely selectedby thinkers. idealists. soldiers. and philosophers.
