He has certainly given us more trouble than many thousands. and I might say many millions of our own citizens here. and yet in the face of his outrageous violation of all rules of hospitality since he has been in this country. under the decision in the Strecker case we are probably powerless to get rid of him. Now. why did the Judiciary Committee put this title in the bill? Because under the language of the law as it now exists. to the ordinary person there was no question about the deportability of Harry Bridges or Strecker. either one. but by a strained construction. as the gentleman from Alabama has told you. the Supreme Court in that case decided. notwithstanding what seemed to me the clear language of the law. that if this man had previously belonged to one of the inhibited organizations. but had resigned a day or a week or a year or 10 years before. he was no longer deportable. For your information. I want to read you the language of the present law as quoted in the decision in the Strecker case.
