Those aliens who having taken out their first citizenship papers avoided the draft by claiming exemption on account of their alienage and thereby refusing to defend the flag under whose protection they had come. remaining at hone and taking the jobs of genuine Americans who were fighting for their freedom. As to the first two classes Congress discharged its duty by providing the necessary legislation. Adequate laws were enacted providing for the apprehension and deportation of such aliens. but these laws were administered in such a way that the intent of Congress was avoided rather than executed. Consequently. while a goodly number has been deported. there still remain in this country thousands who have advocated and still teach and advocate the destruction of our form of government. The organizations and associations teaching the overthrow by force or violence of the established Government of this country are still intact with increasing membership. They are opposed to the fundamental principles upon which our institutions rest.
