Wehave set up a quasijudicial tribunal to try anyone not a citizen charged with being here unlawfully. We go even further than that. We say to that individual. "The burden is upon you to show cause why you should not be deported." But when we seek to deny him the right to any form of hearing we deny him the right of due process as defined in the fifth amendment to the Constitution. I am frank to say that the sevenpage letter read here today written by Mr. Bridges in his own defense did not convince me that he carried the burden. but that does not mean that I will violate my oath to uphold the Constitution as I see it and support this legislation to meet the popular clamor of the moment.
