That is not the point. The point is. first. an alien must reside here 5 years before he may become a citizen. second. there is already on the statute books section 155. title VIII. which provides that any person who advocates the overthrow of the Government by force and violence is to be summarily deported. That provision is mandatory. and you can check up on me by calling up the Department of Labor. This section goes beyond the advocacy of the overthrow of government by violence. Anything can -be interpreted by a Secretary of Labor to mean unlawful political activity. Today you may have a liberal Commissioner of Immigration. tomorrow you may have a reactionary Commissioner of Immigration. and you are putting power in his hands which goes beyond the mere prevention of the advocacy of the overthrow of government by violence. If you want to deport people because they are engaging in the dissemination of subversive propaganda you can do it under title VIII. section 155.
