Speech #870133285

I shall vote for the acceptance of the conference report. but I wish to express a concern. Those provisions of the bill as reported by the conferees providing for the admission of alien orphans and for the nonquota admission of aliens registered under the second and third preference are meritorious. But I am concerned lest inequity which may result from several of the provisions. added by the House. on judicial review of deportation and exclusion cases. I am not sure that these provisions will be effective in speeding the deportation of those undesirable aliens whose activities have prompted this legislation. Those aliens have ample funds to secure able legal counsel and to pay for protracted litigation. At the same time. and this is my concern. aliens of modest means may be denied the opportunity for judicial review of administrative action simple because they cannot afford it. Mr. President. our distinguished chairman made the comment that these deportation recommendations reflect the deep concern of the Commissioner of Immigration and other persons affected by our inability to remove from the country some 7 or 10 conspicuous cases. My -concern. I suppose. basically is this: That we may have brought up very heavy artillery to take care of a very tiny target.
