Crouch wa fully aware that enemy aliens are now barred from Hawaii as they are from the mainland and that statehood would not change this status in any particular. Elmer E. Poston. in charge of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service in Hawaii. scoffed at the charge that Hawaii as a State might offer an opening for enemy spies and saboteurs. He pointed out that it would be much "easier and cheaper" for spies and saboteurs to come into the United States over the Canadian or Mexican borders or they could cometo the United States as diplomats from the Iron Curtain countries. . The record shows. therefore. that the allegation that Hawaiian statehood would result in an influx of aliens or Communists is superficial and not supported by the facts when the truth is that admission of Hawaii to the Union would strengthen its fight against communism.
