We try them. and if they are guilty we send them to prison for long terms. No. In the words of its own sponsor. the gentleman from Alabama. "What we are talking about is the policy of our Immigration Service." Here is what title 2 of the bill would do. We have a number of alien exconvicts in Americamen who served prison terms for felonies committed here. Normally. they would be deported. but due to world conditions they cannot be deported. A special administrative board would take those men and send them to a concentration camp. and at its own discretion. its own whim. could keep many of them there for life. I call it a concentration camp because these men will le sent to it without any jury trialwill lose their freedom simply through a decision of a board that it is best for the country that they should be imprisoned.
