The Committee on the Judiciary 2 years ago. when our distinguished colleague the gentleman from Michigan was chairman of the committee. reviewed the practice of staying deportations where a bill was introduced. and it was decided that unless the Member who introduced the bill requested a hearing. and we so notified the Immigration Service. the proceedings would continue. It was only in those cases where it was apparent that the Member intended to vigorously press for the enactment of the private legislation that deportation would be stayed. However. that is not the practice in the other body. There it is necessary only to introduce a bill in order to stay deportation. Incidentally. there have been a number of cases where the House has refused to intercede. and even after bills have been introduced and unfavorably acted upon by our committee. a Senator has introduced a bill. and the deportation of some alien who. in the judgment of the House Judiciary Committee ought to be deported. has been stayed.
