Many of these undesirable aliens are undoubtedly trained espionage and sabotage agents. Some undoubtedly have attended special Communist schools where they have been taught the techniques of civil war and revolution. Many undoubtedly have served the Russian espionage apparatus in other areas of the world. These individuals. now living in the United States. are experienced. professional operators. directing the activities of local party members or lesser members of the espionage ring. They have been sent for a purposeand they will utilize every available technique. legal or illegal. to remain until that mission is completed. The present immigration laws. which make most difficult their deportation. represent the cloak behind which they so obligingly hide. Typical of the type of Communist agent who as an alien worked indefatigably against the interests of the United States is Gerhart Eisler. Eisler. as we all now well know. was a most important Communist. a faithful Soviet servant and a bitter foe of everything we hold dear. The roll call of undesirable aliens could be extended to include a number of individuals now occupying important positiofLk in the Communist Party in the UniteStates. The world situation is tensethe enemy is working to destroy American democracy. To allow the Communists to snuggle. without fear of deportation. within the bosom of this Nation. is manifestly inexcusable. American authorities must have the tools to handle this grievous situation. To identify and expose these aliens is most vital. but it is not enough.
