Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - November 1, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky what a the use the question must arise what s the use of going through All kinds of hearings and trials to Deport aliens if the aliens cannot be deported. As of june 30, 1958, 2,645 warrants of deportation were outstanding. Of them. 1,637 Are for aliens from Iron curtain countries. This Means that a thief a murderer a subversive any kind of alien that the United states wants to Send Back to the country from which he org finally came can remain in the United states indefinitely if such a country refuses to take him Back. Even those suspected of espionage cannot be deported if the country from which the individual is spying on us wants him to stay Here. He might be put in prison for a period but after that he can walk the streets in Freedom because our government having nowhere to Send him is stuck with him. The entire procedure is absurd and leads to nothing it is costly in time and Effort. Either we let these devils stay Here free to do their harm to this country or we ought to find a Way to get rid of them. We might put them on an Island off Alaska where they could gaze upon the promised land Over in Siberia. Those who engage in dope pushing and cannot be deported might be put in concentration Camps and kept there on Short rations to think about their crimes j certainly we do not need any of these people in the United states. If we have to have bad eggs among us let them be our own. The question of deportation orders is a matter tor Congress to decide if a Law cannot be enforced about anything another Law should be placed on the statute books or the whole matter should be dropped let alien subversives opium pushers spies roam our streets ply their trades and go about their business. In a word either enforce the Law or repeal the Law. As it is now. We can de port a British Crook but not a russian spy Why the discrimination i the Deporta i Ion Law is designed to eliminate from tile american population such alien persons As violate our Laws there is no reason Why we should go to the expense of feeding them and housing them in prisons when the simplest Way of handling them is to Send them Back to where they came from let their own governments look after them. Lucky Luciano for instance. Was a nuisance in the United states. However he been sent Back to Italy where he came from and while he is somewhat of a big shot there he would apparently Pretor to be Here where he was the biggest shot in tile so called mafia it is logical that the people of new York should save themselves the Cost of caring for Lucky Luciano w to sen of no Good purpose when he was in this country.

How to Mark a ballot to get Iron curtain countries rarely accept a Deportee they do not want to admit that they know the Guy. How Many persons enter the United states from Canada or Mexico who should not enter nobody can possibly know and who can know where they came from colonel Rudolf Abel the convicted russian spy for instance entered the United states from Canada illegally. It ought to be axiomatic that anyone who had Ever in tend the United states illegally ought to be deported whenever caught no matter How Ion he has been in the country otherwise there should be no immigration Law Ai All. For Why should honest men and women wait until their quotas Are reached and go through All the immigration procedures if others Are permitted to remain in the country once the get into it by Hook or Crook and stay Here because of their ingenuity and daring decent Tolks Are handicapped by our inability to handle the Law adequately because we will not face the fact that a person who is ordered deported should by got out of the country. When Laws Are not enforced if the government for political reasons winks at the violation of the Law then respect for the Law generally is lost this was proved up to the Hilt during prohibition.
