He must still comply with all the laws we presently have on the statute books in order to become a citizen. So my bill will serve a twofold purpose. It will make the alien declare upon his entry into this country that he intends to repudiate all allegiance to his former government and to support this Government. and. second. if after making this declaration he engages in subversive activities and fights this form of government and seeks to tear it down. either peaceably or forcibly. he is subject to immediate deportation. This bill may not cure all of the evil. but I firmly believe that had such an enactment been on the statute books years ago many of our troubles with aliens would have been prevented. I firmly believe this bill will go far along the road toward eliminating subversive activities and building up a patriotic. law abiding. redblooded American citizenry.
