In other words. if the act I did was not a violation of law at the time I did it. no subsequent legislation can make me suffer the pains of law for that act. The Supreme Court has so held many times. This bill cannot by any stretch of the imagination be said to be ex post facto. In fact. it imposes no punishment whatsoever. It merely seeks to aid our own authorities in their efforts to accomplish deportation and to make it to the interest of these worst aliens to aid in that laudable undertaking. Now that we have. I hope. disposed of some of the arguments and fears which may have been confusing. and having cleared ship for action. let us look at the pending bill.
