He. too. is of Italian descent. The gentleman. if I recall correctly. during the course of his remarks used the words---kind or humane operation of the lawand I hope he is taking that into account with his work on this legislation. Time and time again I have known of cases in my own district and elsewhere where it was agreed a person was to stay in this country and just when they had settled down. feeling that they were safe. some Federal representative from either Washington or at the State level has insisted that the man be put on a ship and be deported and the person would almost be deported. I have had a number of such cases and I know of a good many other cases. That. of course. is what takes place in the operation of the law. I think it is an outrage. I think the personnel of the Washington office and the personnel in the State offices should be admonished to administer the law fairly. and when a mans deportation is stayed. he should not be forcibly put on a ship and nearly deported. I would like to ask the gentleman the question whether he will take that matter up also with the Department of Justice?
