Some may say today what I have read in editorials in the press. that the mere requiring of a declaration of support of this Government may be without effect. but under the terms of my bill. I believe. that situation can be handled. If an alien upon reaching our shores within 30 days. as my bill would require. makes his declaration of intention to support this Government. that that becomes one of the terms of his entry into this land. and if he subsequently violates the terms of his entry he is subject to being deported. Therefore. if at any time after such a person comes into this land and makes this declaration he engages in subversive activities of any sort or any activities whose purpose is to weaken or undermine our form of government. then under the terms of this bill that person is subject to being immediately deported. Some have said that we do not want American citizenship to be a penalty. However. this is not a case of requiring every alien to become a citizen of this country.
