I am quite sure that whoever initiated that statute had no idea that a Senate committee would be required in one session of Congress to pass upon 5.000 deportation cases. It is perfectly obvious that Senators. along with their other duties. cannot individually look into cases of this kind. The function is purely an executive one. Congress enacts statutes providing who can and who cannot come into the United States. It enacts statutes providing for deportation of persons who are in the United States in violation of our laws. Why a committee of Congress should be required to perform an executive function I cannot understand. It is utterly illogical to me.
