Speech #740240939

I reiterate my previous statement that what this committee is aiming at and the evil we are trying to root out. is to prevent an alien who comes to our shores under the guise of a visitor. but is found in fact to represent secretly a foreign government for the dissemination of propaganda which is against the best interests of our country. That is all there is to this bill. It has nothing to do with the deportation of aliens generally. It simply gives us the right to terminate the stay of an alien who comes here on a 1year permit and who uses the hospitality of this country to spread these subversive doctrines. Instead of having to smell that and stomach it for a year we can deport him.
