Are the people of the United States to continue being compelled to suffer merely because some criminal alien is so rotten. or so good a propagandist for rottenness. that his home folk refuse to take him back? And note this well: There is nothing In this bill which requires a detention of any alien until a passport for him can be secured. There are three other ways by which any alien covered by this bill may be released from the detention required: First. by shipping as a seaman on some vessel bound for a foreign shore. without passport or other authority. second. by obtaining from some foreign government a visitors visa. third. by obtaining from some foreign government any other form of travel document when passport is not forthcoming. It is inconceivable that many aliens will find it impossible to arrange for their departure from the United States in one of these four ways. By making departure arrangements of any kind. any alien detained under this bill can escape further detention.
