I thank my colleagues for allowing me this privilege. When that distinguished jurist sat on the bench. time after time I saw him deal with Illegal aliens. These happened to be. the majority of them. from Mexico. some from Central America. He would ask them in their own native tongue so that there would be absolutely no misunderstanding. "You knew that you were violating the law when you came into this country without the proper documents?" "Yes. sir." "You know that I can sentence you to jail for being here without the proper documents?" "Yes. sir." "Well. I want you to know that I am not going to do this. I am going to let you be deported. or I am going to have you deported. send you back to your country. if you promise me that you will never again enter this country illegally." "Yes. sir." "Now. do you promise me that you will never enter this country illegally again?" "Oh. yes." He said. "Well. I want you to swear to that. Do you raise your hand and swear that you will not come nto this country illegally again?" "Oh. yes.
