Speech #760114125

If these communistic. disgruntled radicals who refuse to become American citizens do not like our country. let them return to the land that gave them birth. America has welcomed in the past those citizens of foreign countries who came to our shores imbued with the idea of becoming American citizens and loyal to the flag and the Constitution. Those are still welcome. but the other group of aliens now numbering approximately 2.000.000. who are here unlawfully. thousands of them not desirous of becoming American citizens. thousands of them preaching their gospel of hate. communism. and radicalismthat group should be deported and if this bill is adopted methods of deportation will be greatly facilitated. One of my colleagues. the gentleman from California . stated on the floor of the House that he would vote for this bill if he could forget that his grandparents were aliens. if he could forget that there were Members of the House who have been aliens. if he could forget that the Nation had been built largely by the work and help of aliens. and if he could forget his oath of office. Let me state to my colleague that the very facts he has enunciated should be conclusive evidence to him that he should vote for this bill. because I assume that his grandparents were aliens who came to this country to be American citizens. who became lovers of our country. its flag. and its Constitution.
