Speech #770111192

I should like to have my colleagues revert to section 4. which has previously been read. It refers. evidently. to one group of aliens who obtained admission to this country fraudulently by being smuggled into the country or by means of misrepresentation or by escaping from ships. or by other means. There is authority to hold this group of persons for 90 days under deportation warrants. and under certain circumstances this time may be extended 60 days. Section 5. which the Clerk has just read. refers to a group of aliens who have committed crimes not connected with entry into the United States. These aliens may be held for 1 year and possibly for 3 months additional if deportation warrants areissued for them. If you will turn to page. 11. under title II. you willflnd you are dealing witha third class of aliens. who have been guilty of certain serious crimes especially enumerated on page 11. Under that last section the Board provided by this bill has the power to detain aliens for life.
