Speech #810270375

Mr. Speaker. 6 months ago I called attention of the Congress and the country generally that there are more than 100 criminal subversives and Communist aliens from countries behind the iron curtainwell supplied with money and running at large all over the United States. Every one of these criminal aliens are classed as subversives in the files of the Bureau of Immigration. Many of them have been in the United States a long time. Most of them are known to have been or are cardcarrying Communists and have committed crimes in the United States from larcency to homicide. They have been ordered deported. The Bureau of Immigration informed me today that they do not know now where all of these criminal aliens are and that they are running. over the country at large. I was also informed that the Department may know of the whereabouts of some of these subversive aliens. but they tell me. positively. that the whereabouts of at least 20 are unknown. Most of them are on parole or on bond. but may have aliases and some may have changed their names. The Commissioner of Immigration is anxious to incarcerate these criminal aliens. but he tells me that he does not have this power. in spite of the fact that some of them have come to the United States illegally. These subversive criminal aliens. along with about 200 other alien criminals. have been ordered deported. but passports or landing permits for them cannot be obtained from the countries of their origin. I doubt that the iron curtain country governments want them back now. especially those who might be more useful to them in the United States at this crucial hour. A bill has been introduced in the House to place these dangerous alien criminals in a concentration camp until such time as transportation and landing permits can be obtained. but this legislation lies dormant.
