One particular instance is the Bridges case. which will serve to illustrate. Dean Landis. of Harvard Law School. wrote a 150page opinion on that matter. which is rather interesting. and if you can find time to examine that opinion. it will be worth your while. The law provides for deportation of an alien who is a member of an organization that advocates by force and violence the overthrow of this Government. but may I point out to you that an alien or a citizen can be an affiliate of an organization and receive its help. and emoluments. financial gain. attend their meetings. confer with their leaders. and yet the fact that he is only an affiliate and not a member so often lets him out. when under other circumstances he should have been disciplined or deported. Let me therefore admonish you that there is another job to be performed in connection with this. and that is implementing legislation to hold up the hands of the administrators. The task before the Nation today is to proceed in a calm. orderly. effective. and legal way to scrutinize every admission to this country to insure insofar as possible that only desirable immigrants may be admitted. The next task is the effective patrol of our borders to prevent illegal entries and the smuggling of aliens into this country. Insofar as the present patrol admits. this task is being reasonably well performed.
