Mr. Speaker. there is an effort being. made under the guise of serving displaced persons. to tear down our immigration laws and to flood this country with aliens. many of whom will bring with them communism. atheism. anarchy. and infidelity. When former Ambassador Bullitt was testifying before the Committee on UnAmerican Activities he said that 60 percent of the Communists in this country are immigrants. Mr. Speaker. the Communists are dedicated to the overthrow of this Government. they are dedicated to the destruction of the American way of life. they are dedicated to the destruction of Christianity throughout the world. It is the greatest menace civilization has faced in 2.000 years. I join with the American Legion. I join with the Daughters of the American Revolution. who have been attacked by honest Harold Ickes for standing up for their countryI join with them in opposition to legislation that would tear down the bars of immigration to the enemies that are coming here to stir up trouble from one end of this country to the other. Mr. Speaker. as a part of my remarks I include the following:
