Session #72 · 1931–33

Speech #720127528

I do not agree with the statements made by Congressman LAGUARDIA in opposition to this bill. As the author of the bill. I can say it does not seek to accomplish the purpose which the gentleman believes it does. Under the present law alien communists are not excludable or deportable as such. They may be excluded or deported upon some other ground but not simply because they are communists. The present law reads. in effect: "That the following aliens shall be excluded from the United States: (a) Aliens who are anarchists." This bill adds after the word " anarchists" the words: "or communists."
