There is no standard. there is no definition. no statement of what is meant by "prejudicial." It is perfectly conceivable that what the Attorney General might decide as being prejudicial. the Senator from Connecticut and I would consider to be of great value or vital to the country. Nevertheless. the power would be in the law. What is more. any alien could be deported for a crime of a minor nature he might have committed 20 years ago. and he would have virtually no recourse whatsoever. For example. he could have been guilty of reckless driving 20 years ago. He may have been in this country 30 or 40 years. be married to an American wife. and have Americanborn children. but that would not make any difference. The Attorney General. within his discretionand "discretion" is not defined in the McCarran billcould come into the mans house in the middle of the night. seize him. and order his deportation. with very little right of appeal.
