Speech #760048228

I have not heretofore regarded the rancor of the alien and the spleen of the "isms" as of such serious consequences in this land. but after the meetings such as the one on George Washingtons Birthday and the incident such as the testimony of an admitted Communist who enters the very sanctuary of government itself without fear and with the hardihood born of a warped and distorted mind. and after the multiplying incidents of the last few years. I believe it is time to act and to act drastically. The people of the United States want to see such undesirable people deported and sent back to the wretched land for which they are willing to sell their own selfrespect and decency. and I join with them in this fervent desire. I have introduced recently in this Congress a bill having for its purpose the correcting of this evil. at least to some extent. This bill requires all aliens coming to the United States. within 30 days after entry. to take an oath of allegiance to the United States Government and to repudiate all allegiance to all foreign powers. potentates. and governments. Of course. this does not include those people coming here on visits and for educational and other temporary purposes but only those who have in mind making this country a more or less permanent home. Should an alien fail to take this oath of allegiance and fail to repudiate allegiance to foreign powers within this period of time. under the provisions of my bill he will be immediately deported back to the land from whence he came. But even then he is not freed from all of the provisions of H. R. 5481. Under the theory of this bill. the terms by which he is admitted to this country require absolute allegiance from him. Even after he has made the declaration of loyalty to this Government. should he at any time thereafter become engaged in subversive activities designed to break down and undermine our republican form of government he again will be subject to deportation and the Secretary of Labor is authorized to immediately take appropriate steps to return him to the land of his birth. Under this bill no hardship Is imposed upon anyone. Congress simply lays down as a rule of admission that the foreigner coming to our shores must be loyal.
