Speech #860087251

The bill reached the Senate too late for action. but I have every reason to believe that if we pass this bill today the other body will act on it before this session is over. The purpose of this bill Is simply to put an end to the mockery of our judicial processes and to the perversion of .the constitutional right of "due process" through which the worst alien elementthe gangsters. the racketeers. and the Communistssucceeded in prolonging their unwelcome dwelling among us. A large supply of moneywhich those elements are always able to replenish from most unsavory sourcesnarcotics traffic. commercialized vice. racketeering or the treasury of the Communist conspiracypermits aliens against whom final deportation orders were issued to prolong their stay in the United States through protracted litigation which ties up the hands of the Department of Justice. prevents the enforcement of the law andmost importantvoids the soyereign right of the United States to rid itself of the criminal and subversive alien. This bill does not prevent any alien from seeking judicial review of administrative orders of deportation. On the contrary the bill. strictly in accordance with the spirit and intent of the Administrative Procedure Act. sets up a special form of judicial review for that purpose. It sets up a single. expeditious. and fair method of judicial review in accordance with the well tested act of December 29. 1950. which provides for the judicial review of orders issued by the various Federal agencies. This is something that has long been lacking in the field of enforcement of our immigration laws. The opponents of this bill. not very numerous I hasten to add. attempt to stress that the bill is not necessary because it will affect a very limited number of aliens and will not be applicable in more than about 2 percent of the deportation caseload. I submit. Mr.
