It is my contention that this board is wholly unnecessary. uncalled for. and should not be provided in this legislation. and that certainly. if the only excuse is to make it constitutional. as was suggested by the distinguished Member of Alabama. it does not belong here. Now. let us use a little common sense and judgment. We have the Immigration and Naturalization Service that can handle the question itself. and if there is to be an appeal. let us not appeal to a politically appointed board. but let appeals be made to the courts. if you please. as we do in other cases. Certainly there cannot be any good. sound reason for appealing to a board of this kind. political in all of its phases. and providing for employees outside the civil service. as has been suggested. I do not see any reason whatsoever why members on either side of the aisle would not support an amendment to strike out section 2.
