I thank the Senator. Let me point out that. while that objective is wholly desirable. the Senators draftsmanship has made this deportation penalty apply to a willful failure. if you choose. or a refusal to register. Mr. President. if. after registering these aliens. we find that there are 100.000 of them who entered the United States illegally. they are deportable anyway. and that is what we are trying to establish. If the Senators amendment reaches only that class of aliens who willfully commit perjury. who knowingly file false statements as to their entry. then there would not be any objection to deportation as to that type. Of course not. but the Senators amendment as drafted reaches the whole class defined in the particular section 36.
