I think the President has done a magnificent job. but unfortunately he has not been able to go far enough. He needs legislation. I know every Member of Congress wants the Presidents sweeping order to actually sweep out these termites in our Government. and as a member of the subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization of the Judiciary Committee. I have today Introduced a bill which will not only revoke and set aside the citizenship of all those who have been found by the loyalty boards to be subversive and disloyal to this country. but authorizes the Attorney General In the Department of Justice to immediately deport those termites from the United States. If they are dangerous to our Government here as persons on the pay roll. by the same token they are dangerous as citizens or residents and should be denied citizenship and refuge here. They should be sent back on the next boat to the country from whence they came or to the country whose cause they espoused or advocated. To bite the hand that feeds is one thingbut to chew off the arm is another. Folks down in my country have a way of disposing of vicious dogs who bitelet us apply that rule here by deportationbecause such action will rid us of all those who would seek to desecrate our flag and to destroy our American institutions of Christianity and democracy.
