I will say. in reply to the gentleman from Ohio. that it is doubtless true that a very large percentage of those who are advocating aiarchy and Bolshevism in the United States are aliens. As to what might have been had the Government of the United States imposed regulations of that kind heretofore I hardly feel. called upon to make answer. I may say to the gentleman that this bill is temporary and to. permanently reach the situation the Immigration Committee must report amendments to the present law on immigration. Aliens who are intelligent and are of good character. who come to America with a sincere desire to become citizens. who come here because they admire this Government and seek its protection. and who forsake their allegiance to foreign Governments and kings and emperors andt potentates. Who come with respect for and obedience to our laws in their hearts. and who qualify under the present immigration laws. will not be injured by this legislation. but the aliens who seek to come here breathing defiance to ordered government and law. or who come saturated with thought and Oiurpose hostile to the forms of constitutional institutions which we hold dear. or who come merely to compete with our own citizens in the opportunities to make money which America offers. and then intend to return to foreign lands to enjoy their savings. or who are content to remain foreign to all that America symbolizes and typifies. or who come to destroy and tear downas to such as these. by the enactment of this legislation the Congress of the United States gives to our consuls and ambassadors in foreign lands the solemn injunction. "They shall not pas."
