For several days we have been discussing civil liberties. but I know of no reason why an alien. a guest of our country. should be extended any opportunity to become affiliated with any organization or engage in any "fifth column" activities in this country. Section 41. chapter 3. title 8 of the United States Code of Laws. an enactment of Congress. provides for equal rights .under the law for all persons. This is a privilege that has been miserably misused in the past by aliens. gangsters. racketeers. and political disruptionists. Mr. President. I believe the time has come when we should halt the advance of the "fifth column" in America. Therefore I am today introducing a bill which I commend to your attention. I ask that the bill be referred to the Committee on Immigration.
