The bill is long overdue. and that is the reason why it must be passed. but it has been restricted and limited and will necessitate. I think. much more consideration of the problem by the Committee on the Judiciary. I know there Is an immigration bill before us. and I know that we will take some action on the subject this year. We ought to be as interested in the deportation of persons illegally entering from Canada. England. France. or Germany as we are with reference to Mexicans or persons from the British West Indies. There are all kinds of laws on the books with reference to deporting people who may have a bad idea. The books are filled with legislation providing for the deportation of Communists and Fascists. I want to see to it that those who have entered this country illegally are deported also. that the laws of this land are adequately enforced. and that there is no doubt as to what the purpose of the Congress is. namely. that illegal entries shall be barred. The wetback problem stands as a blight and a shame on the American Republic. We talk about aid for the underprivileged. we talk about integrity and the enforcement of law.
