There are other means of solving this problem. There has been legislation before this House for years to give the Government the right to intern dangerous alien Communists whose countries of origin refuse to accept them. We should no longer tolerate this frightful indifference toward the problem of illegal aliens within our borders. We are in the midst of a cold war. now getting hot. We have seen in Korea and elsewhere that the threat is a serious one. It is not going to do us any good to have a powerful army in Japan or in Germany. or in Africa. if millions of potential subversives are here in the United States where they can destroy us without military invasion. In order that this problem might be solved. an investigation and study should be made by a select committee authorized to prepare legislation bearing on the subject of illegal entry of aliens and deportation of subversive aliens and their internment or deportation. This is a vital problem in America and bears directly on our survival as a Nation. A select committee should be appointed in order that this problem shall not become a political football
