So much for this. The gentleman from Pennsylvania is absolutely right that the Supreme Court decision holds that they must divide their powers and must conduct their hearings. clear through to judgment. accordingly. Congress is to blame in this instance. if there is anything wrong with the proceedings of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. It is we who wrote the law they are following. and there is no use in the world to get exercised about it. If they are not doing itlisten to this. now. if you forget everything else. I say listen to this statement. if you please: The Supreme Court says in this decision from which I have just quoted that if they do not do so. no decision that they can make will be valid. There is nothing. therefore. to raise any question about whether you pass the committees amendment or not. it means nothing but the saving of money which the Bureau says is necessary. which the gentleman from Pennsylvania says is not. No matter whether there are 10 times as many who come over the Mexican border into Texas as into the rest of the Nation. or not. makes no difference if the Immigration authorities say it is necessary and they have justified it. they may employ as many as they think necessary with the approval of the Attorney General. and no more. But be that as it may. the point I am making is that not a single deportation order can be held valid. so says the Supreme Court that wrote this decision. unless they do divide these three powers: detection. prosecution. judgment.
