Yes. I agree with the gentleman from Utah that that is the purpose of the bill. but. in my opinion. the one who drafted the bill slipped a cog. for if you read the language of the bill you will find it says that Bridges will be deported in the manner provided by sections 155 and 156. Now. section 155 goes into detail and sets forth the various acts for which an alien may be deported. Now. if we pass this bill. before such deportation could take effect he would have to be arrested and charged with a violation of section 155. and. when so charged. necessary proof would be required. Consequently it would mean a sort of a trial or. in other words. some evidence would be required to support the arrest. Section 156 deals with the port to which the alien may be deported. and costs of transportation. and so forth. I fully realize that no such procedure was contemplated by the author of this bill. but. as I said before. I think the bill is subject to such interpretation. and. as I said. I do not think the bill would accomplish his deportation without trial.
