I am trying to convey to the gentleman and to the House the thought that under present law our hands are tied. People. call them spies if you like. come here ostensibly for business purposestheir visas are obtained for business purposesyet in fact they come here temporarily with the sole intention of spreading propaganda. whether it is from Mexico or some other place. which. in the opinion of the committee and the country. is inimical to our form of government. Now. we cannot tell him to go back to his native country until his time expires. All we ask is that when we find a foreign national has come here for the sole purpose of spreading subversive propaganda in this country that we can tell this man or woman to get out.
