I will say to the Senator from Oregon that on page 9. line 16. there is a clause which will probably operate automatically to deport some of the persons who have been causing trouble out on the Pacific coast. The existing law is amended by striking out the words "or to have become thereafter" and inserting in lieu thereof the words "or to be or to have been at any time thereafter." This provision refers to membership in communistic or other societies which advocate the overthrow of government by force or violence. In other words. if an alien seeks entry into the United States. and he is at the time a member of a communistic or anarchistic organization which advocates the overthrow of government. we exclude him. but if he enters anyway. and thereafter joins one of these organizations. he is then deportable. and he cannot avoid prosecution by saying. "Well. I have quit." because if he ever has been a member since coming into the country he is deportable. Mr. President. title III relates to the registration and fingerprinting of aliens. Under this part of the bill it is provided that no immigrant may come to the United States until the officer issuing his visa shall have registered him and fingerprinted him. and given him a copy on his visa. and forwarded a copy to the Department of Justice. I do not think there is any question about that portion of the bill.
