Mr. Speaker. let me call attention to the fallacy of this editorial. This is the crux of the objectionable feature of the editorial: "What is involved under this bill is a second punishment." may I pause at that comma to say that the Supreme Court in the Turner case gives te lie to that. This is not punishment. Deportation is not a criminal trial. it is not a criminal procedure. It is no punishment to send a man back home. As I said in my speech on Monday. Brer Rabbit when he was protesting so violently to Uncle Remus because he was sent back where he was born and raised was not really sincere.
